Home security footage has captured the moment a large tree fell and split apart on an Auckland property yesterday.

The tree came down on the Papatoetoe home at around 5pm on Tuesday, flattening a car and striking the house with four people – including a three-year-old child – inside.

Fire and Emergency NZ responded with one crew.

Footage captured by 1News at the scene show the tree's roots wrenched out of the lawn, and its trunk and limbs lying across the front of the house.

None of the residents were injured.

The tree came down on the Auckland property about 5pm on Tuesday, with four people inside the house escaping without injury.
