Brendan O’Carroll will donate $50,000 to the family of a pregnant woman who died in a car crash in Hobart, Tazmania, last week.

Sarah Paino sadly lost her life in the collision however her unborn baby miraculously survived and is now in a stable condition in hospital despite being born prematurely.

According to the Irish Mirror, the Mrs Brown’s Boys star heard about the tragedy whilst on Australian News Show ‘The Project.’

It was during this that he pledged to help out Sarah’s family – including her husband Daniel and their two-year-old son who escaped the crash with just minor injuries.

He said: “I was really touched by the piece you did about Daniel in Hobart.

“We’re very much a family so if it’s okay with you guys, we as the Brown family would like to donate 50 grand to that fund.

“We’re travelling out to do the show in Hobart and we hope to make you guys smile – but in the meantime Hobart’s been really good to us and we’d want to get a chance to be good back.”
