Britney Spears was left without eyelashes and eyebrows when her fireplace exploded in her face.

The "Toxic" singer took to social media explaining that the potentially deadly incident happened six months ago, and was the result of her security not lighting it for her.

She told her 42 million Instagram followers in a video clip, in which she spoke in a British accent: “I was in my room, I turned the fire on, and all of the sudden, it blew up in my face.”

Britney added her fireplace had “done that before," and she usually gets her security to “come in and light it for” her.

“But this time, I just threw the whole thing in there, and it literally blew into my face… it took all my eyelashes off, my eyebrows and – see these baby bangs? These are from… it sizzling all my hair," the 42-year-old pop icon explained.

Spears also noted how she feared she had second or third-degree burns and thought she was going to have to “go to the emergency room” as her “face was, like, on fire.”

“It hurt to touch my phone. It hurt to put ice on my face. It hurt to have anything touch it. This happened for, like, six or seven hours. The pain never went away. It was so, so, so bad," she said.
