The mother of three young children found dead inside a Port Hedland home after a house fire on Tuesday afternoon is assisting police with their investigation.

Acting WA Police deputy commissioner Allan Adams said on Wednesday the bodies of three children – aged five months, seven and 10 – were discovered during the operation but declined to comment on where they were found or whether the mother was home at the time.

6PR reporter Anne Naylor shared the latest update on the police investigation with Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

"We keep saying the word tragic but there's just no other way to describe this, it's just awful and so gut-wrenching for this community," she said.
