Brief Answer:
Safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Vitamin D3 supplements are relatively safe. Both the values you had put up i,e 66ng and 59.6 ng/ml are safe values and would not cause kidney failure. Similarly osteomalacia is caused by brittling bones in adults because of vitamin Deficiency and not excess vitamin.
I would like to know why do you have this doubt and want to be more clear about this query.
