Amber Heard was said to be left ‘devastated’ after tech tycoon Elon Musk ended their year-long romance earlier this month.

And it seems the 31-year-old has found comfort in the arms of a long term friend who has flown to Australia's sunny Gold Coast where the actress is shooting the superhero blockbuster Aquaman.

The Texan took to Instagram on Tuesday to post an image in which she is being warmly embraced by a Spanish hunk called Rafaelo.

Wearing a patterned tunic over tights and snakeskin boots, the blonde beauty smiled as she cuddled against her tall friend, her hand laying gently on his chest.

She captioned the image: '13 years of friendship plus 24 hours of flying equals 1 girl, who's lucky enough to have a friend come to see her when she needed it most.'

The Justice League actress added in Spanish words which translate to: 'I love you friend! Don't go!'

Rafaelo, who appears to be a beach volleyball coach for kids, also shared an image from his trip Down Under.

It comes after Amber ended her romance with Paypal billionaire Elon Musk.

‘It’s all over between Amber and Elon and she’s devastated,' the source reportedly said.

'Amber can be very manipulative and selfish. Elon’s back in LA while she’s licking her wounds in Australia.’

Elon, 46, worth a reported $19 billion (AUD), made his first fortune as co-founder of online service PayPal.

Amber's marriage to Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp infamously imploded last year amidst accusations of violence.
