HENDRICKS COUNTY, Ind. -- A fire at the house of a woman who received death threats stemming from a video posted on YouTube was intentionally set, fire officials said Monday.

The Hendricks County home of Delana Ward burned Friday night, adding a bizarre twist to an already unusual story.

Ward said Saturday that she was convinced the fire was intentionally set in retaliation for her actions in the video, in which a distant relative accused her of stealing a child's toy gun at a Christmas party, 6News' Sarah Cornell reported.

Ward said she hid the gun because the child was bullying other children with it.

The child's father, Greg Cox, posted the video on YouTube last week, sparking what Ward called the worst week of her life.

"I never thought anybody would actually do this to us over a plastic toy gun," Ward said Saturday, as she stood in front of her burned out home.

After the video hit the Internet, viewers took sides, and comments against Ward quickly turned vicious.

"The whole world out there knows who I am and where I am. There are so many sickos out there willing to do radical things," Ward said.

After the fire, family members and other associates took part in a continued war of words.

The video on YouTube's site was marked private, and Cox's profile is no longer accessible. He has been advised not to comment, Cornell reported.

Cox admitted the situation spiraled out of control, but said he wanted Ward to apologize.

Brownsburg fire investigators are working with the Hendricks County Sheriff's Department. There are no suspects, Brownsburg fire Lt. Stephanie Martindale said Monday.
