Hong Kong singer-actress Gillian Chung was taken to hospital in Xiamen, China, early today (Sept 7) after she had an accident in her hotel room at around 2am.

Her management agency said in a statement that the 39-year-old suffered a serious head injury.

Chinese media reported that she contacted her bestie, Hong Kong singer Joey Yung, as well as her manager Mani Fok after her mishap, and both — who were at Beijing — have since flown to Xiamen to be with her.

Gillian is in Xiamen to film a Chinese drama and it was supposed to be her last day of work today.

She reportedly insisted on returning to the film set as she didn’t want to delay the filming schedule. However, her manager stopped her from doing so as she needs to remain in the hospital for observation.

In May this year, Gillian’s estranged husband, Taiwanese doctor Michael Lai, told the media that they had signed separation papers in March because she didn’t love him.
