Chris and Liam Hemsworth stole the show at last night's Make It Rain – Fund the Firies Fundraiser in Byron Bay.

The brothers took to the stage with comedian (and fundraising legend) Celeste Barber at the event, which was held at The Beach Hotel, and raised money for the NSW RFS Northern Rivers and Far North Coast Brigades.

After giving Barber a well-deserved "Hemsworth sandwich" for raising more than $48 million through her Facebook fundraiser, Chris thanked the crowd for buying tickets, which cost $49 each, to the event.

"These shows sold out in a matter of minutes, which is incredible," the actor said. "It shows the true spirit of this community and the support of the RFS and their work over the last 100 years.

"I've got to say from the bottom of my heart, and I'm sure from everybody in this room, we are indebted to you guys forever."

The two-night event (Wednesday and Thursday) featured live bands and performers, including Spiderbait, Wolfmother, Tim Rogers and Tex Perkins.

Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky further supported the event by putting a one-hour training session with the pair of them up for auction.

Hi everyone. Like you, I want to support the fight against the bushfires here in Australia. My family and I are contributing a million dollars. Hopefully you guys can chip in too. Every penny counts so whatever you can muster up is greatly appreciated. In my bio I’ve added links to support the fire fighters, organisations and charities who are working flat out to provide support and relief during this devastating and challenging time. Beyond appreciative to everyone around the world for their well wishes and donations. It really does make a difference, so dig deep! Love ya.

Chris Hemsworth made headlines earlier this week when he took to Instagram to encourage people around the world to donate to the bush fire appeals and revealed how much he had given.

"My family and I are contributing a million dollars," he said in an emotional video on Instagram. "Hopefully, you guys can chip in too. Every penny counts, so whatever you can muster up is greatly appreciated … It really does make a difference, so dig deep!"
