There are no reports of Australians being killed or injured in an earthquake in central Italy, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.
He offered his thoughts and prayers at this "shocking time" after at least 120 people died and 368 were injured in the more than six magnitude quake near Amatrice.
"There are no reports of Australians dead or injured to date. Australians in Italy should follow the advice of local authorities," Mr Turnbull told Alan Jones on 2GB radio on Thursday.
