American television personality Nicole Richie shared a video on Instagram of herself celebrating her 40th birthday. The video showed her hair which she left open caught afire as leaned in to blow out the candles on her birthday cake.
She noticed the edge of her hair burning as she pulled back and screamed in horror. Someone next to her patted down the flames.
Well… so far 40 is (fire emoji),” Nicole captioned her post, which got reactions from many celebrities. Queer Eye host Antoni Porowski commented, “I feel awful for laughing, I’m sorry, also happy birthday!!!” Singer Kelly Rowland wrote, “My heart just dropped!!!!” Actor Ellen Pompeo said, “HBD!!! I hope you’re okay!”
Nicole’s husband, musician Joel Madden, joked, “That’s hot.” The couple has two children — 13-year-old daughter Harlow Winter Kate and 11-year-old son Sparrow James Midnight.
