When celebrating her 40th birthday earlier this week, TV personality, fashion designer and actress Nicole Richie went to blow out the candles on her cake.

However, her hair came in contact with the flames and set it on fire.

Watch the clip below to see what happened:

The Simple Life star posted the video on her Instagram with the caption: "Well… so far 40 is 🔥".

When bending over the cake with a picture of a younger version of herself on it and icing that reads: "Happy Birthday Nicole", both sides of her hair appear to come in contact with a candle flame.

While the right side is quickly extinguished by a nearby guest, the left side quickly spreads upwards, leading to more frantic movements from Nicole and those around her.

Luckily Nicole is okay and able to celebrate the rest of her birthday in peace.

This also appears not to be the first time as celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell commented: "STOP!!! AGAIN?!?!"

'Harleys In Hawaii' singer Katy Perry simply commented: "WAIT NO WAY WAIT OMG".

Nicole Richie's posting to Instagram and tongue-in-cheek caption seem to imply that she was not seriously injured by the event. Still, it's enough to rattle anyone.

Hoping that you enjoyed the rest of your birthday Nicole and that you're okay!
