Nicole Kidman revealed that she nearly lost her home in Australia due to the devastating brushfires that are sweeping across the nation.

The 52-year-old actress spoke with Extra on the red carpet for the 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards Sunday where she revealed that her home was close to the destruction. She said she and her husband, country music singer Keith Urban, are donating money to help the ailing country recover.

“Our home is OK," Nicole told the outlet. "It's been under threat, though, it's been under enormous threat, and the surrounding areas have been very, very badly burned."
