Georgia Love and her partner Lee Elliott have sent messages of support after fire destroyed the luxury houseboat where they got engaged.

Bachelorette star Georgia Love and her partner Lee Elliott have shared their heartbreak as the luxury houseboat where they celebrated their engagement was destroyed by fire.

Two guests at the luxury floating villa, The Lilypad, managed to get themselves to safety after it became engulfed by flames off the coast of Palm Beach at around 2pm on Sunday.

Fire crews on Rural Fire Service boats and commandeered private vessels used portable pumps to battle the blaze but the houseboat was destroyed.

Hazardous materials crews installed booms around the blackened remains of the houseboat to prevent fuel leaking into the water, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Elliott, who celebrated his engagement with Love at The Lilypad, posted a message of support to the venue’s owners on Instagram Stories.

“You will rebuild @LilypadPalmBeach and it will be as incredible as ever,” Elliott wrote in the message that was also shared by Love.
