Sad News: Jackie Chan’s Estranged Gay Daughter Breaks Silence in Tearful Message — “I Have No Home, No Father”
Hong Kong — In a heartbreaking turn of events, Etta Ng Chok Lam, the estranged daughter of international action star Jackie Chan, has spoken out publicly for the first time in months. In a tearful video uploaded to social media late last night, the 25-year-old delivered a raw, emotional message that has left fans around the world shocked and saddened.
“I have no home,” she said, her voice shaking. “I have no support. I have no father.”
A Cry for Help
The video, just under three minutes long, appears to have been filmed on a mobile phone inside a dimly lit room. With tears streaming down her face, Etta details her current struggles — from homelessness and emotional isolation to mental health battles and feelings of abandonment.
“People look at me and think I have everything because of who my father is,” she said. “But fame doesn’t feed you. Fame doesn’t give you a bed. And fame doesn’t hug you when you’re crying.”
The video has already amassed over 5 million views across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Thousands of comments express both sympathy and outrage, with many questioning how someone so closely related to a global celebrity could fall through the cracks.
A Complicated History

Etta Ng is Jackie Chan’s only child with former beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi-Lei. Born in 1999, Etta grew up largely away from the spotlight and had limited contact with her father. Jackie Chan has rarely spoken about her in public, once controversially referring to their relationship as a “mistake” during a past interview.
Etta made headlines in 2017 when she came out as gay and later married Canadian social media influencer Andi Autumn. The couple has since faced multiple challenges, including financial hardship and periods of homelessness, some of which were previously documented in past social media posts.
“I never asked for fame,” Etta said in her recent video. “All I ever wanted was a family.”
Public Reaction
The emotional message has reignited public debate about celebrity responsibility, especially when it comes to estranged family members. While some have criticized Jackie Chan for his silence, others have defended him, pointing to the complexity of family relationships and legal matters surrounding past custody disputes.
“Regardless of who she is or who her father is, no one deserves to feel this alone,” said one commenter.
“I grew up idolizing Jackie Chan,” wrote another. “But this video really made me think. What’s the cost of that fame?”
Jackie Chan’s Camp Remains Silent
As of this writing, Jackie Chan has not released any public statement in response to Etta’s message. His representatives have also declined to comment.
In recent years, Chan has maintained a strong public image — promoting charity work, starring in international blockbusters, and receiving honors such as an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement. Yet, stories like Etta’s continue to cast a long shadow over his otherwise polished legacy.
A Plea, Not a Performance
In closing her video, Etta offered no calls for money, no demands for reconciliation — only a quiet, aching wish:
“I just want peace,” she said. “And maybe one day, someone will hear me and care.”
