'It's just devastating, it's my home': Hugh Jackman is 'heartbroken' by the Bondi Beach terror attack.

Hugh Jackman is "heartbroken" by the Bondi Beach terror attack.

The 57-year-old Australian star - who is a longtime resident in the community and has a penthouse apartment in the area - has responded after Sunday's (14.12.25) "devastating" shooting at an event for the Jewish festival of Hannukah, which saw 15 people killed, and injured more than 40 others, with 24 of them still in hospital.

He told Fox 5 DC: "It's just devastating, it's my home so it hits close. This is something we are seeing all over the world, my heart is breaking about it.

"I just feel for particularly for those families, those closely affected and the community because it's my community.

"I went to bed reading about Brown University and woke up reading about Bondi, I just feel heartbroken."

Hugh bought his low-rise apartment in Bondi a decade ago for $5.9 million, and he splits his time between there and the US.

It's said he retained the property during his divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness, which was finalised earlier this year.
