A FORMER star of Aussie soap Home and Away is fighting for her life after a Boxing Day car crash, according to reports.

And the head-on horror smash left three people – including both of the actress’ parents – dead.

Lars Falkholt, 69, and his wife Vivian, 60, were killed after a four-wheel-drive crossed the road and collided with a car carrying the Falkholt family, police believe.

Passers-by and cops pulled Jessica, who played Hope Morrison in the TV soap, and Annabelle from the wreckage as the vehicles were engulfed in flames.

The remains of those killed in the crash were so badly burned it could take weeks to formally identify them, news.com.au reports.

“Jessica is a most beautiful person.”

Craig Anthony Whitall, 50, also perished in the inferno.

Officers could not confirm if he had been using his mobile phone at the time of the crash, according to the Daily Telegraph.
