The 2025 MAMA AWARDS believes in the power of music to heal and unite. We are carefully preparing the overall stage composition and proceedings to ensure that it becomes a ceremony that conveys comfort and hope, rather than just dazzling productions. We hope that music can bring even a small amount of comfort and courage to everyone's hearts.

The concerts also cancelled the original scheduled firework effects, adjust some of the performance contents to be in a suitable condition for everyone to meet, deliver through music warmth and strength, heal hearts and gather strength.

Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi's studio announced on Weibo: "The fire in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong has touched the heartstrings of all sectors of society. Cecilia Cheung has donated HK$100 through Po Leung Kuk in Hong Kong, which is specifically used for fire emergency rescue, transitional resettlement of disaster victims, and supply of daily necessities. Let's lead a helping hand and help each other tide over the difficulties." Mainland artist Han Hong donated 1,000 yuan through her charity fund. She commented, "My heart aches for Hong Kong!

Many people in the entertainment industry are very concerned about the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po. They have posted on social networks to express their deep sorrow, and forwarded community support information to find lost relatives, save pets and donate items, and cheer for firefighters and medical staff. Tai Po resident "Song God" Sam Hui Koon Kit posted a handwritten letter on social networks. "As a neighbor in Tai Po, I feel the same way! I hope all walks of life will support and concentrate on assisting the Fire Services Department in the rescue! God bless Hong Kong!"

Tai Po resident and ERROR member Poki Ng appeared at the supply transfer station to assist those in need, while teammate Denis Kwok Ka Chun (193) and MIRROR member Frankie Chan Shui Fai also spontaneously went to the community hall where the victims were temporarily evacuated to deliver supplies. Chan Shui Fai said, "I am moved! When I went to bring the supplies I didn't know where to deliver them. Before I arrived I already saw a large number of citizens carrying the supplies and setting off. Not knowing the way, I followed the brigade to the supply station. Also on the trip were many students who were carrying supplies out of the dormitory to help. On the way back I saw people keep bringing supplies. When one side is in trouble everyone helps!" Some fans who lived in Wang Fuk Court expressed their gratitude on the social media group. In addition to worrying about whether the support is sufficient, Chan Shui Fai also hoped that if anyone had any uneasiness would try to express their feelings in a way that suit them, continue to support each other, and wish everyone safety.

193 revealed that he drove all night to assist people in transporting supplies. He was willing to help transport them to community halls in different locations, and uploaded a photo of the rear of the car. "I feel that I got bigger after moving things for a night, and I am a little moved to see so many people uniting to help in the early morning. Without any planning in advance, I even ran into a very talented teammate helping out at a supply transfer station. If you are an early riser, you may want to consider helping out at various supply stations, or donating blood, and keep an eye on social media for updates. With too much negativity, you should put down your phone to rest, listen to music to relax, or chat with friends. Thank you all the firefighters for your hard work, may everyone be safe."

The Tai Po branch of the Elanne Kong Yeuk Lam's husband Oscar Siu Wai Jin operated Shengjian Bao restaurants was open all night after the fire and gave away free food and drinks, which was praised by many online. Becoming a mother in March this year, Louisa Ma Ming Sze said on social platforms, "Excuse me, I live in Kowloon, but my home can help take care of 1 or 2 babies. PM me if needed."

In addition, former Miss Hong Kong champion Lisa Tse Ga Ye reposted the clip on the social platform story the night before, writing in Chinese and English: "I would like to express my deepest condolences and prayers to all the victims, the injured, and those who lost their homes today (the day before yesterday). Today I witnessed my grandmother's home burn in the fire, it truly has been a heart breaking day." Some online were concerned about the personal safety of her grandmother. Tse Ga Ye replied on social platforms yesterday, apologizing for not updating everyone with the latest news. She revealed that no one was at home at the time of the fire, so her family was fine. She prayed for the victims or those affected, and expressed her deep condolences.
