The singer visited Grenfell Tower after the horrific fire yesterday.

Adele made a tearful visit to the London apartment block that went up in flames yesterday.

Onlookers said the 29-year-old was “going around and hugging everyone she could to comfort them”.

The horrific fire broke out at 1am yesterday morning and claimed the lives of 17 people.


One person at the scene said of the singer’s visit:

“The fact that Adele has gone to Grenfell Tower and not said a word about it just proves how amazingly sincere she is.”

Adele is just one of a string of celebrities who have shared their condolences with the victims of the blaze.


Rita Ora shared her heartbreak on social media today, saying:

“This is my neighbourhood, I can’t believe this is happening.

“My prayers are with everybody involved my heart is beating so fast. I used to play in that block – I want to do all I can do to help.”
