A Home and Away actress is battling for her life, after being critically injured in a horror crash.

Jessica Falkholt, 28, has worked on the Australian soap, where she played Hope. She's also had roles on other television dramas.

Her parents were killed in the Boxing Day crash in New South Wales, which also left her sister critically injured.

Police believe the crash occurred when a large vehicle crossed the centre line and crashed head on with the Falkholt family's car.

Jessica and sister Annabelle were pulled from the crash, as the vehicles went up in flames, but her parents died in the burning car, along with the 4WD's driver.

Cast and crew of Home and Away have shared messages for Jessica online.

Jessica and Annabelle remain in hospital.
