The star has an extensive property portfolio, her latest adventure being driving through the beaches of Bridgehampton, where she has a 20-acre estate called Tower Hill valued at $29.5 million.

Christie was spending the day on the beach with journalist Michael Atmore – who documented the scary but brief fiasco – when rain struck and the Jeep they had been driving got stuck in a mound of wet sand.

Michael shared videos from outside of the car, as another friend tried to drive the car forward, to no avail. The video ended with a clip of the car's back wheel terrifyingly sliding toward the sand cliff that the car was stuck on.

He also shared a picture in which the height of the sand dune was more clear, captioning it with prayer emojis.

Thankfully Christie wasn't alone through the risky adventure, and thanked her friends on her Instagram stories for "rescuing" her.
