Britney Spears accidentally burned off her eyebrows and eyelashes in a frightening fireplace accident.
The 42-year-old pop star said she was in pain for hours afterwards and feared having to go to hospital after the incident, which occurred six months ago. Britney said she had tried to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom but it “blew up” in her face.
The singer took to Instagram to recall the mishap. In a clip, where she could be seen giggling, she said: “Six months ago something happened that was really, really dangerous. I was in my room and I turned the fire on and all of a sudden it blew up in my face.”

The star explained how the fireplace had done this before but she normally had a member of her security ignite it for her. She went on: “I just threw the whole thing in there and it literally blew into my face and it took all my eyelashes off, my eyebrows.

“And see this baby hair? These baby bangs? This is from basically six months ago. It’s all my hair. And the person I was with would just not wake up and I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room and all that ’cause my face was like on fire! I was like wait – third degree, second degree burns, like what can happen? Cause my whole face went in.

“But then it hurt to even touch my phone. It hurt to put ice on my face. It hurt anything to just touch it. So this lasted for like six or seven hours. It happened at like three o’ clock in the morning. The pain never went away. It was so, so, so bad.”
Britney explained she took some Tylenols to help her fall asleep. It’s not her first fire-related accident as she accidentally set her gym on fire with two candles four years ago and it burned down.

The singer said at the start of a workout video: “Hi guys, I’m in my gym right now. I haven’t been in here for like six months because I burnt my gym down. Unfortunately. I had two candles, and, yeah, one thing lead to another, and I burnt it down.
“So, I’m in here and we only have two pieces of equipment left, and I’m going to show you what I do during this time.’
She explained: “It was an accident… but yes… I burnt it down. I walked past the door to the gym and flames… BOOM!!!!”. Britney said it was “by the grace of God” that the alarm went off and that nobody got hurt in the fire.
