The family of Bryonie Gawith, 29, and her three children, Denisty, nine, Oscar, five, and Aubree, 22 months, who were tragically killed in a house fire in Bradford, have spoken of their 'profound loss.' The fire broke out at their home around 2 am on Wednesday.

Gawith's family expressed immense grief and asked for privacy to cope with the tragic event.

The children's father, Jonathan Birtle, currently in custody on unrelated charges, expressed deep sorrow, stating he cannot imagine life without them.

Authorities have ruled out Birtle from being a suspect in the fire and are treating it as a 'domestic-related' incident.

A 39-year-old man, the ex-partner of a visiting woman, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in critical condition in the hospital.

West Yorkshire police have initiated a detailed investigation and seek public assistance for any information or footage related to the incident.

Neighbors described the terrifying scene, noting an 'intense' smell of smoke and large flames that lit up the sky.
