International Superstar Yoshiki Donates $100,000 to Hong Kong Fire Disaster Relief

Los Angeles, CA / November 28, 2025 ̶ International music icon YOSHIKI has donated $100,000 through YOSHIKI Foundation America 501(c)(3) to the Hong Kong Red Cross to support victims of the devastating fire at Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong's Tai Po district. The donation will provide critical assistance to those affected by the tragedy.

"My heart is saddened by the images and reports coming from Hong Kong," said YOSHIKI. "When I see people suffering from such a catastrophic disaster, I cannot stand by.

I pray that relief comes swiftly, and that the community can begin to heal."

The November 26 fire at the Wang Fuk Court housing estate rapidly spread across seven residential towers, leaving thousands displaced and the community devastated.
