Heartbroken Russell Crowe shows bushfire damage to multimillion dollar property
Russell Crowe has shared a sad video of the bushfire damage done to his property.
The Hollywood actor said he originally intended to just send the small clip to his friend, but felt the need to share it with Twitter too.
“Fires still burning, logs smoking everywhere you look,” he wrote.
“Got halfway to where we were trying to get to, will try again in the morning when it’s cooler.”
The actor previously shared images of his NSW property after the bushfire left regions of it “scorched” and out of water.
He noted he “was overall very lucky” at the time after a couple of buildings were lost on his property.
Crowe owns 400 hectares of land around Nana Glen, inland and northwest of Coffs Harbour.
“So we’re up here trying to get up to this ridge road but we keep coming across things like that,” he said in the most recent video shared, before panning the phone to a tree across the road.
“So I’ve got a few boys behind me chopping through with a chainsaw, but I don’t think we brought enough chainsaws because we’ve got a long way to go to get to where we’re supposed to be.
“Look at this place, mate,” he shows his friend.
“Absolutely f***ing smashed.”
On Sunday it was recorded 65 fires continued to burn across NSW, with 31 yet to be contained.
Blazes in Victoria and north Queensland are still causing alarm.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced there would be $48 million set aside for bushfire recovery, after blazes devastated many communities.
The community recovery package, which is both a federal and state government initiative – was announced on Sunday morning and included a grant of up to $15,000 to aide small businesses and farmers.
