A Los Angeles model has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Australian bushfires by sending naked photographs to her followers.

Kaylen Ward told her followers on Twitter on Saturday that she would send nudes to anyone who donated NZ$15 or more to fundraisers for the Australia wildfires.

"Every $10 you donate = one nude picture from me to your DM. You must send me confirmation that you donated," wrote the 20-year-old.

The post went viral, gaining more than 47,000 re-tweets and almost 100,000 likes. Ward told Buzzfeed News she hired a team of four people to help her sort through the thousands of messages she received.
