Australian actress Teresa Palmer, her husband and their two children live tweeted the 'scary' situation.
She described the incident as 'violent' as the family's tree-house accommodation became 'scarily' unstable as the quake first hit while their kids were sleeping.

Federal Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, who was in Bali for a terrorism meeting, told the Sydney Morning Herald the quake was 'powerful enough to put us on the floor.
