A blaze broke out in the Wang Fuk Court high-rise apartment complex in Hong Kong’s suburban Tai Po district at about 3pm on Nov 26, killing at least 55 people — including a firefighter - and leaving nearly 300 missing.

Shu, who is in town for the Singapore International Film Festival, where she will premiere her directorial debut Girl, wrote in Chinese on social media on Nov 27: “May the fire be put out soon and may everyone be safe and sound. Salutes to the brave firefighters. May the departed rest in peace.”

Hui posted a handwritten note on Instagram on Nov 26: “As a resident of Tai Po, I feel deeply for them. I hope all sectors will support and concentrate their efforts to assist the Fire Services Department in the rescue efforts. Pray for Hong Kong.”

Shu Qi’s husband, Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Fung, paid tribute to the Hong Kong firefighters on Instagram Stories, as did singer-actor Nicholas Tse.
