Reality anchor Nicole Richie, who is also the fashion designer and owner of the coveted HOUSE OF HARLOW brand, celebrated her 40th birthday last night (Tuesday), and the event ended with fire and literal flames.
The designer shared a video on her Instagram page, where she has 5.2 million followers, when she is seen sitting in front of a birthday cake with candles lit, and in the background singing her birthday songs.
Richie leans with her head down to make a wish and put out the candles, but her hair catches fire from the candles.
The birthday girl starts screaming in horror (and rightly so) and then a friend is seen reaching out to put out the fire.

Despite the fear, Richie seems to have recovered quickly from the incident in question, and in the headline of the post she wrote
"Well… so far age 40 is fire".
Her husband and rock star Joel Madden put it perfectly when he responded to the post in question and wrote there a line by Paris Hilton, the iconic reality star and who starred with her in a reality series.
"THAT'S HOT" (in translation: it's hot).

Many other stars responded to the post including singer Kelly Roland who wrote "My heart has fallen to the panties!".
Former reality and bestie star Paris Hilton responded "God save you! Congratulations darling I hope you are okay, love you".
Actresses Olivia Moon and Amy Schumer responded separately and wrote "God save!"
And supermodel Naomi Campbell asked her "Are you okay?".
Her little sister, model and fashion blogger Sofia Richie, elegantly ignored the case and wrote "I love you my sister".
The post in question has gone particularly viral, and now has 1.4 million views, and it only goes up every minute.
