A family have been left homeless after a fire destroyed their house in Sydney's south- west overnight.

The fire broke out on the second floor of the home, on White Way, Casula, just before 10pm and quickly expanded into the roof before overwhelming the entire property.

When emergency crews arrived on the scene, huge flames and plumes of smoke had covered the entire top floor.
