Watch fearless Beyonce's brave 600ft freefall plunge from top of Auckland's Sky Tower

After sharing Instagram shots of her daring freefall from a tower in New Zealand on Friday, Beyonce has posted a video clip of the terrifying experience. 
The star is in Auckland on the latest leg of her demanding Mrs. Carter Show world tour.
While the photos taken from the top of the city's Sky Tower were scary, the video is petrifying.

However the daredevil singer looks excited about the exhilarating experience and howls with laughter as she falls.
On her way down, she even manages to  scream 'this is awesome' and 'this is so fun.'
The singer performed two jumps from the tower - which had previously been described as 1,076 ft tall but is, in fact, 1,076 metres or 600 ft in height - because she enjoyed it so much, before 'disappearing as quickly as she arrived,' according to New Zealand newspaper the Herald On Sunday.

A source told the newspaper: 'She got changed into the bungee clothes out the back somewhere and was taken straight up in a service elevator.
'It was difficult to see her when she came down because she had so many bodyguards with her.
'It was all over very quickly and bosses kept it quiet from everyone because they didn't want word getting out and risk huge crowds turning up to watch.'
Topping out: Beyonce smiled confidently as she stepped on to platform, 600ft above street level

A freefall is similar to a bungee jump but instead of being tied by the ankle, participants are strapped in around their torso and jump from a height rather than diving headfirst. 
Beyonce looked excited as she posed at the top of the city's Sky Tower with her instructor. 
The 32-year-old superstar was clad head to toe in purple and yellow and her long blonde hair was loose around her face as she pouted before her jump.
Poser: The singer made sure she let her fans in on her fun by posting an image just before she jumped
