The teenage filmmaker has received widespread acclaim for her movies about important issues affecting young Australians.
This includes subjects such as peer pressure and vaping.
But it is her latest film, Grape, which has seen her rise in popularity after it was selected for the 15th annual Lady Filmmakers Festivals in Beverly Hills.
Unfortunately for Aurora and her family. though, the high airline prices mean they can’t afford to travel to Los Angeles.
But in an unexpected turn of events for everyone in the studio, Kat revealed a jaw-dropping surprise.
It moved the mother and daughter to tears, while Nat herself couldn’t hide her emotions.
“Another finalist in the Gold Coast Women of the Year Awards – her name is Michelle Massey,” Cat said.
“She works for Amplify Travel and your dad and I have worked with her and we’re taking you. We’re leaving in 11 days!”
As Aurora became overcome with emotion, her mum added: “We couldn’t let you miss the global premiere of the film.”
As the beautiful moment played out on screens, both Nat and Shirvo were moved by the mum’s act.
“Oh, that’s so lovely,” Nat said.
Shirvo added: “What a surprise!”
At the end of the segment, Shirvo said: “We need tissues on set!”
It isn’t the first time that Nat has been left speechless on the show of late, either.
The Sunrise co-host was stunned when Political editor Samantha Maiden released a fiery rant at deputy prime minister Richard Marles, calling him a “popmpous git”.
Elsewhere, former Sunrise host David Koch has warned his fans not to be “hoodwinked” by fake ads after being caught up in an AI scam.
The former Sunrise host said he’s “had enough” after being the subject of artificial intelligence images used to fool Aussies.
