BRITISH actress Kate Beckinsale, 47, documented the “unsettling” gift when someone anonymously dropped off a rabbit in a cage along with a basket of rose petals.

Captured in a series of videos posted to her Instagram stories Tuesday, the actress appeared shocked by the present from a stranger. The videos were apparently filmed by her boyfriend Goody Grace, 23, who also expressed his confusion over the delivery.

The actress wrote in a caption, according to The Daily Mail, that they were able to find a home for Marvel the rabbit, while urging people not to repeat the situation.

“However much someone loves animals please never send an unsolicited pet to someone’s house, especially anonymously and especially on a boiling hot day where it could have been left outside to roast to death. We have found a loving home for Marvel without cats but it was quite a shock and I think pretty unsettling for Marvel too. Appreciate so much the good wishes but please please don’t send anyone an animal as a present or a joke or really at all,” Beckinsale wrote.

Beckinsale is a known animal lover, especially of cats. Last December, she posted several pictures of her cat Clive dressed up as Santa.(SD-Agencies)
