TikToker Lydia Cooke posted footage of her brown leather sofa smoking due to the sun's reflection off of her makeup mirror.


Cooke captioned her video:

"*Commence house fire fear*"

The video, which has been viewed more than 30 million times, has the words, "I was today years old when I learnt how house fires can start" across the screen.

Cooke attempts to pat out the smoke, but, of course, the reflection remains.
