An adorable koala who won hearts around the world when he was rescued from raging bushfires has died. Billy was saved by volunteers from Adelaide & Hills Koala Rescue last month after he was caught in the ferocious blazes and left with horrifically burned paws. On Wednesday, his heartbroken carers announced that the lovable koala died due to the 'stress' of his injuries. 'His carers are nursing broken hearts, but comforted to imagine him climbing that big gum tree in the sky. Sometimes even our best efforts can't save an animal, and that is a very hard reality to accept,' another wrote.
