Do Fractals have anything to do with Brownian motion?

I watched a show on Fractals and it sort of remind me of Brownian motion. So my question is has anyone ever used fractals to explain Brownian motion?

I believe that Brownian motion was successfully explained before fractals were solidified as an object of study.
