The Beckham family were caught up in the powerful earthquake that hit the island of Lombok in Indonesia, and killed at least 142 people.

David and Victoria were holidaying with their four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper when the quake struck on Sunday.

The family of the former English footballer are said to have been staying around 60 miles from the epicentre after arriving on Lombok the previous day.

Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven, are said to have been shaken by the event but are all unharmed.

'They certainly felt the earthquake. The children, especially, were a little bit shaken but they are all fine. Their thoughts are obviously with the victims,' a source told The Sun.

At least 142 people have died and hundreds more injured after the powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Lombok.

It is the same island which was struck by a 6.4-magnitude quake that killed 16 people last week.

Tourists in nearby Bali have described the horror of aftershocks which were felt by celebrities such as U.S. supermodel Chrissy Teigen and her husband, singer John Legend, and Take That singer Gary Barlow. 

The Indonesia government confirmed the death toll had risen to 142 with 'hundreds' more injured on the island.
