Pyjama-Clad Star's Terror Amid Bondi Beach Attack
14 Dec
Summary
- Reality star was in pyjamas picking up food during the attack.
- She initially mistook gunfire for a car backfiring.
- Friends received graphic videos of the aftermath via group chat.

A reality television personality narrowly escaped the Bondi Beach terror attack on Sunday, recounting the harrowing experience while dressed in pyjamas. Lauren Dunn, a recent Bondi resident, was collecting food from a local eatery when the first shots were fired. She initially dismissed the sounds as a car backfiring, a common occurrence in the area, before realizing the terrifying reality as people began to scream and flee.
Dunn described the intense chaos as she ran for safety, witnessing dozens of people fleeing a beach festival where children had been moments before. From her apartment balcony, she observed police activity and heard loudspeaker announcements warning citizens to stay indoors. The incident deeply affected her, as friends shared graphic videos of the aftermath, including distressing images of casualties.
The attack, which left 12 people dead, including children, has been described by officials as a terror attack. The gunmen opened fire at a Jewish holiday celebration, 'Chanukah by the Sea.' In the wake of the tragedy, authorities are investigating suspicious items found near the scene, including an improvised explosive device, as they continue to secure the area.
