15 minutes ago, Paris faced a great tragedy when Selena Gomez, a world-famous star, died in a hotel explosion in the 8th arrondissement. Police said the cause of the explosion was a gas leak in the kitchen area of the luxury hotel where Selena was staying. After the explosion, the entire building burst into flames, engulfing the entire area, forcing many people to flee in panic.
The scene was truly horrific. Witnesses said that immediately after the loud explosion, the bright fire from the 2nd floor of the hotel quickly spread to the upper floors, covering the facade of the building. A witness painfully recounted: “We saw a huge fire, then thick black smoke accompanied by consecutive explosions. All in just a few seconds… no one could have imagined that a star like Selena would have such a tragic accident.”
Firefighters and police quickly arrived at the scene, but could not get close to the building due to the fire. Meanwhile, a crowd of paparazzi and fans also gathered around, recording the tragic moments as rescue workers rushed into the sea of fire to search for victims. They pulled Selena out of the fire, but her face was covered in blood and smoke, her body almost motionless.
At the scene, medical staff immediately began resuscitation on Selena. An oxygen mask was placed on her face, and doctors quickly performed CPR, but the heart monitor only emitted slow “beep” sounds, signaling that life was fading away. A doctor participating in the rescue said: “We tried our best, but Selena’s heart stopped on the way to the hospital.”
When the ambulance left the scene, the doctors still did not give up, but all their efforts failed to save Selena Gomez. Hospital George Pompidou in Paris admitted her to the emergency room, and after 40 minutes of trying to resuscitate her, the head doctor pronounced Selena Gomez dead. All efforts, however desperate, could not save the situation.
The news shook the music and television world. As soon as Selena Gomez’s death was confirmed, social media exploded with millions of condolences. The hashtag #PrayForSelena quickly took over Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Friends in the industry such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Justin Bieber all posted heartfelt condolences. Taylor Swift wrote on Instagram: “Selena, you will always be my dearest sister. You are gone too soon.”
Colleagues in the music industry expressed their grief. Selena’s close friend, Selena Gomez, posted a video sharing memories and times working with her, choking up: “We have lost an irreplaceable person, a great friend.”
Thousands of fans gathered in front of the hotel where the explosion occurred to pay their respects to Selena. The crowd held candles and white flowers, praying for her repose. The hotel building where the tragedy occurred has become a memorial site. A grieving fan shared: “We loved Selena. She gave us so much joy and hope. Now, it is all just a memory.”
Meanwhile, French authorities have immediately launched an investigation. Police confirmed that the cause of the explosion could have been a gas leak in the kitchen area, but they have not ruled out the possibility of external factors. Currently, the investigation is still underway to clarify the cause of the accident.
The Gomez family, especially Selena’s mother, Mandy Teefey, along with Hailey Bieber and family members immediately flew from the US to Paris. In a brief interview afterward, Selena’s mother said: “We have lost a big part of our lives. Selena was my favorite child, and she will forever live in our hearts.”
Paris, the city of light and love, is now in darkness. This tragedy has silenced the world. And although Selena is no longer with us, her contributions to music and to the hearts of those who loved her will never fade.
