In December, the All Stars islander took to Instagram to share a photo of herself taken twenty years ago on a beach alongside her family.
The family were holidaying in Sri Lanka, Mirissa, when the 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck causing a Tsunami and damage to at least 15 countries.
The reality beauty captioned the post: “20 years + 1 since the Boxing Day Tsunami (heart emoji) we were split into 3 separate groups, and the universe looked after us all.
“It will never sink in how lucky & grateful we are, thinking of anyone who was effected, or is still.”

India starred in the fifth series of Love Island in 2019 and made it to the final.
She finished in third place with basketball player Ovie Soko, 33, but they split just four months after leaving the villa.
Since leaving the show six years ago, India’s career as a model and influencer has skyrocketed.
Now, the brunette bombshell has made her return to reality TV stepping foot in the villa once again.
India, who has been dubbed by fans as All Stars ‘most beautiful contestant’, is currently coupled up with Scott Thomas, 36.
Just two months ago, India revealed that she was keen to join the new All Stars cast.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, India said: “I feel like I’m a little bit older now, when I did it it was five years ago now. I think I’d be a little bit different.
I’ve been single for two years, I enjoy it…I haven’t really dated anyone seriously in that time.
“As much as I would love to find someone, I can’t say I’ve been putting that much time into doing it.
“But maybe Love Island would be the right thing because then you’re shoved with a load of people.”
