Bikini-clad Tziporah Malkah, 46, flaunts her 50kg weight loss at Bondi Beach

It’s been a worrying few months for Tziporah Malkah, who has been visited by police and ambulance crews at her Sydney apartment on several occasions recently.

But despite fears for her well-being, the 46-year-old former model appeared to be in a cheerful mood on Monday as she went for a swim at Bondi Beach.

Tziporah, previously known as Kate Fischer, showed off her recent 50kg weight loss in a black bikini, after undergoing a tummy tuck procedure earlier in 2019.

The Sirens actress was joined by a female friend as she strolled down the beach, caught waves and shared plenty of laughs.

At one stage she was spotted holding hands with her female companion, who wore a white singlet and colourful shorts.

Coincidentally, she was just a stone’s throw away from the Bondi apartment she once shared with ex-fiancé James Packer in the late ’90s.

Her relationship with the 52-year-old billionaire was thrust back into the spotlight last month, when she made bizarre claims about his late father, Kerry Packer.

Tziporah told The Weekend Australian she had ‘intense’ sexual chemistry with the media mogul, who died at the age of 68 in December 2005.

‘Kerry wanted me and I wanted him too. He was 6’1” and his hands were massive, of course, and he had these penetrating eyes,’ she said.

‘He was amazing and I loved him. We engaged each other intellectually and flirted a lot.

‘Kerry and I never touched each other. Not really. We would only hug – but the chemistry was intense.’

Tziporah claimed Kerry was jealous of her relationship with James, a theory which was also alluded to in a recent theatrical production about the family, Packer & Sons, by playwright Tommy Murphy.

James and Tziporah met in 1993 and were engaged in 1996, but broke up in 1998.

There have been concerns for Tziporah’s welfare recently, with police and ambulance crews showing up at her Kings Cross apartment.

She has filmed several of these encounters and uploaded them to social media, while assuring fans she is doing just fine. 

In her Weekend Australian interview, she clarified that she is a ‘psychopath’ but ‘not insane’.

She added that the only reason she is visited so frequently is due to her worrying mother, politician Pru Goward.

Tziporah insisted she has ‘no mental health problems’ to speak of, before adding: ‘I’m a Jew – isn’t that crazy enough?’

Many Australians will remember Tziporah for her engagement to billionaire James Packer in the late ’90s.

She famously appeared in the film Sirens, about the hedonistic and creative lifestyle of artist Norman Lindsay, alongside Elle Macpherson and Portia de Rossi.

Tziporah split with James after a two-year engagement in 1998 and later relocated to the U.S., eventually becoming an American citizen.

Upon her return to Australia several years ago, however, she found herself broke, homeless and living in anonymity.

Eventually she found work in aged care in Melbourne, but was thrust back into the headlines in 2016 when unflattering photos of her wearing a bedsheet outside of her house were splashed across the tabloids.

She has since embraced her return to the spotlight, appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2017 and signing with celebrity agent Max Markson.
