Firebase auth.currentUser error using typescript

When configuring typescript with firebase, I am getting the following error: Argument of type 'User | null' is not assignable to parameter of type 'User'. Type 'null' is not assignable to type 'User'.

The error is here: auth.currentUser It is unclear to me what type it would be.

updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
                    displayName: name
                }

Full code:

import { getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword, signOut, onAuthStateChanged, signInWithEmailAndPassword, updateProfile } from "firebase/auth";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import FirebaseInitialization from "../Firebase/Firebase.init";



FirebaseInitialization()

interface IUseFirebaseProps {
}

const UseFirebase: React.FunctionComponent<IUseFirebaseProps> = (props) => {
    const [user, setUser] = useState({})
    const [error, setError] = useState('')
    const [admin, setAdmin] = useState(false)
    const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true)
    const auth = getAuth()


      // REGISTER WITH EMAIL AND PASSWORD
      const RegisterUser = (email: string, password:string, name:string, history: any) => {
        setIsLoading(true)
        createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
            .then((userCredential) => {
                const newUser = { email, displayName: name };
                setUser(newUser);
                setError('')
                updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
                    displayName: name
                }).then(() => {
                }).catch((error) => {
                });
                history.replace('/');
            })
            .catch((error) => {

                const errorMessage = error.message;
                setError(errorMessage)
            }).finally(() => setIsLoading(false));
    }
  return <h2>Firebase</h2>
};

export default UseFirebase;

How can I solve this? can anyone help me?
