Her followers were quick to gush over the actress, with one fan writing, “How is it possible that you are over 50+ years old? This body.”

“Has anyone stayed this hot for so long?”, wrote another.

There was even a cheeky fan who quipped, “What a gorgeous pair…of starfish.”

However, there was a heated debate from fans who were appalled at the Austin Powers star’s stunt.

Some fans were irate, with one telling the swimwear designer, “You just killed those stars by taking them out of the water.”

“They are extremely delicate and most likely won’t survive once you take them out of the sea,” another added.

Some shocked fans were skeptical about the whole situation with one stating, “Yeah I’m calling bullsh*t on the caption sweetie.”

Other fans were impressed by her good deed and defended Liz, “Thank you for your action, you have done a great gesture for the planet.”

James Cook University marine biologist Professor Morgan Pratchett revealed to News.Com.Au that it's "unlikely" the starfish would die after being out of the water for a few minutes.
