Tai Hara has been left ‘devastated’ after learning that his family home has been flooded and destroyed in Queensland and New South Wales.

The 31-year-old Home and Away star, who lives in Sydney with his wife and daughter, stated that his parents’ home in Ballina, NSW, where he was up, had been flooded.

‘Devastated for my family and the Northern Rivers community,’ he began.

‘So heartbreaking to see our family home inundated With no clean water, short food supply, and no electricity… it’s been difficult to contact our parents.’

‘Feeling so useless here in Sydney,’ he continued. All we can do is help organizations that are there in the middle of it and are offering critical assistance.

He then urged his followers to follow suit if they could.

‘Your generosity can help teams on the ground to provide urgent relief, including enabling volunteers and staff to help with evacuations, relief centers, and outreach service, and supporting people and communities to recover and rebuild,’ he concluded.

Tai portrayed bad guy Andy Barrett in the soap from 2013 till 2016, when his character went on the run.

Ballina’s mayor, Sharon Cadwallader, described the flood as a “once-in-a-1000-year” event, with 6,000 of the region’s 20,000 dwellings being flooded.
