The damages look to be extensive and show that the fire reached several areas of the residence. The Buffalo icon gave a walkthrough of the home and wrote, "Nobody was hurt [praying hands emoji]."

"We good, I was in L.A. India made it out that motherf*cka ASAP," he said in a video. Smoke stained the ceilings, there was dirt on the floor, and shattered windows were blackened where the fire reached outside to the roof. Outside of the front door, the family's Fall decorations in the yard were destroyed.

We're happy to see that Benny and his family were able to get to safety. Check out his posts below.
