\u201cWe are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved father, Patrick Tse,\u201d the family said, adding that he passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family after his health deteriorated in recent years.<\/p>\n

Singer-actor Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, who was in mainland China preparing for his Evolution Nic Live concert in Qingdao on July 25 and 26, has reportedly returned to Hong Kong to handle funeral arrangements for his father.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Tse later paid tribute to his father in a statement, saying he was deeply saddened by the loss. He described Patrick Tse as an actor who devoted his life to film and entertainment, bringing joy and laughter to audiences.<\/p>\n

Nicholas said his father always believed that \u201cthe show must go on\u201d and hoped people would remember him not with sadness, but for his charisma, humour and passion for life. He added that keeping his father\u2019s forever charming and joyful image in their hearts would be enough.<\/p>\n

Sources said the family would keep the arrangements private in accordance with Tse\u2019s wishes. His sister Jennifer Tse Ting-ting, who has been living in Canada with her husband and children in recent years, is also expected to return to Hong Kong to bid farewell to their father.<\/p>\n

Tse\u2019s final reported public appearance was in late April, when he was spotted having coffee with friends at a caf\u00e9 on The Peak.<\/p>\n

At the time, Tse was seen in a wheelchair with a walking stick and appeared noticeably thinner than before. Dressed in a dark red tracksuit, blue trousers, a cap and sunglasses, he maintained his signature style with his trademark ponytail.<\/p>\n

Despite his frail appearance, Tse remained warm and approachable. He agreed to take photos with members of the public and smiled throughout the encounter, showing the charm and charisma that made him one of Hong Kong\u2019s most iconic entertainers.<\/p>\n

Tse had reduced his public appearances in recent years after winning Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2022 for Time. He had not taken on any new acting projects since then.<\/p>\n
