It's costing you money two ways. By heating up your fridge, and by using electricity while it's on. Won't hurt anything except your wallet.

No safety issue at all if you haven't grossly overdone the wattage of the bulb. I will use more energy in two ways, the bulb will use electricity constantly and produce heat inside the fridge causing it to run more.

It's safe enough, the bulb will just burn out faster if it's on 24/7, than if it's only on whenever you open the fridge door.
