DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA: Most of us use summer as an excuse to enjoy time at the beach and swim to our heart's content. Similarly, influencers Dixie D'Amelio and Bri Chickenfry, with their friends, decided to take advantage of the warm weather by going for a late-night swim. However, things didn't go as planned, and they got caught in a strong current, which could have been dangerous.

Luckily for them, D'Amelio and Chickenfry's friends called for a rescue helicopter. As they were relaxing in the ocean, D'Amelio and Chickenfry suddenly moved away from the shore where they had left their clothes.

Why was a rescue chopper sent to Dixie D'Amelio and Bri Chickenfry?



 

During a recent episode of the 'BFFs' podcast, Chickenfry shared her experience of being stranded in the water. She explained that she and D'Amelio were enjoying their time in the ocean when they realized they had been swept away from their clothes. However, their friends were quick to respond and called a rescue team to help them.

“We’re literally sitting in the water and all these ATVs started pulling up,” Chickenfry said before mentioning that the rescue group confirmed that it was them, and added, “We were waiting for our friends to bring us our clothes.” Despite the scary situation, the girls were fortunate to have their friends look out for them, who arrived with their clothes soon after. The situation has not been addressed by D'Amelio, as of yet.

A user commented, "Bri & Dixie just minding their own business getting it on in the surf. And then there's helicopters and police and four-wheelers," while another wrote, "Oh, so some drunk chicks were pretending to like basketball and then swimming while drunk in the ocean at night? Thank god they are alive, society would never survive without them." One user expressed, "hehehilarious aww come on bri nobody with a free-thinking mind believes anything you're spouting about bein rescued by cops in a helicopter while u r skinny dipping with Gracie & Dixie all the while being swept away by ocean currents.
