Seagull Strikes New Zealand Reporter Jessica Tyson On Camera During Auckland Shoot

Tyson says she is fine with a tiny scar after the on-camera collision.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Dec. 2 as Tyson filmed a fast-fashion segment for Te Ao with Moana in central Auckland.
  • Footage shows colleagues rushing to check on her as a cut near her eye began bleeding, with Tyson later saying the bird’s beak or claw likely caused it.
  • Tyson posted the clip to Instagram and Facebook, kept a light tone in her captions, and noted it was the first time she’d sworn on camera.
  • She cleaned up at a nearby office, later sharing that she did karakia, and said she was back to work with only a small, barely visible scar.
  • One outlet reported the show’s host confirmed she is okay and said she will be assigned to indoor shoots going forward.
