NEW YORK (AP) — Macaulay Culkin is being sued by an insurance company for money it paid to tenants who suffered losses in a fire that began in the Culkin family's high-rise apartments.

The suit by Travelers Property Casualty, which names Culkin's parents, and the owners and managers of the apartment building, seeks more than $113,000 paid in claims to five policyholders.

Fire investigators said the Dec. 23, 1998, blaze apparently started in a wall-mounted heater in one of the Culkins' two 19th-floor apartments.
