(TMZ) -- Rapper Jim Jones got incredibly emotional after his mother's house burned down on Christmas Day but still managed to find a silver lining.

The rapper posted this video Monday as fire crews appear to have finished dousing the fire. Jones said he's incredibly grateful his family came away unscathed after the horrific event.

Jones said he bought the house for his mom back in the day ... and what's tough about the loss is that's the house where his son grew up. Jones captioned the video, "We can always buy new houses new cars new everything but we can't buy a new family."

Heart wrenching.

Today I was blessed wit th greatest Christmas gift in my life thus far and tht is my family gettin out of th house safe sound n wit out injuries We can always buy new houses new cars new evrything but we can't buy a new family On th flip side watchin my momma house burn touch my soul in ways I couldn't imagine I wasn't raised wit my mother but my son was and his whole life of memories gone in a flash If u know me then u know I'm gonna buy my family th biggest house I can afford and fill it wit more love The devil is always workin but so is my God I got faith Merry Christmas
