Twenty people have escaped unhurt from a fire that broke out at the Caribbean home of Sir Richard Branson.
Sir Richard said actress Kate Winslet was among those staying on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands when a tropical storm broke out and lightning hit the house.
He said she helped carry his mother Eve, 90, to safety.
The Virgin Group boss, who was staying nearby, said on Monday the fire ''completely destroyed'' the building during the night.
Sir Richard bought the island in the early 1980s.
