Iggy Azalea fell off the stage during her performance of 'Fancy' at the MTV VMAs benefit concert in Los Angeles.

Iggy Azalea fell off the stage during the MTV Video Music Awards benefit concert on 22.08.14.

The 22-year-old singer left fans speechless at the charity gig after she accidentally tumbled into the crowd whilst performing 'Fancy' at the Avalon in Los Angeles.

Security guards rushed to catch the rapper and quickly pushed her back on the stage to continue singing. After the track, which she performed with Charli XCX, Iggy told the audience that she felt ''blessed'' to have not broken her legs during the dramatic stumble.

It is not known whether the Australian star was injured during the fall but she appeared in good spirits after her set and even posted a clip of the blunder on Instagram.

She wrote alongside the short video: ''Sorry but it would be a crime not to share this with you all, I know I laughed. #StillFinishedtheSongTho #KeptOnRapping #TheShowMustGoOn (sic).''

Sam Smith and Tori Kelly also performed at the event benefiting Lifebeat - Music Fights HIV/AIDS, which is a national non-profit organisation focused on educating youths about HIV and AIDS prevention.
