"Some of my earliest memories and also some of the greatest memories are of holidaying at this amazing place. Heartbreaking to see it in trouble but inspiring to see the hard work all the fantastic local people are doing to save this little iconic spot," he wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to all the firefighters across our country working tirelessly in these difficult conditions. I believe there's some hard days ahead. I wish you all the best."
