A star is not ‘pulled in’ to a black hole - like, ‘swallowing’ something, as is often mentioned. Instead, when a star is close enough to a black hole, the material from the star flows into the black hole. This is called ‘accretion’.

An accretion disk forms whenever the matter being accreted possesses enough rotational momentum that it cannot simply fall inward toward the central singularity of a black hole along a straight line. It begins to orbit the black hole and a ‘disc’ shape is seen.
Therefore, the answer to your question is, when a star falls into a black hole, it is not a star any more; it is all gas.
