"There is a hole in my heart," Huang wrote on Facebook, according to The Star. "How can I fill it up?"

Huang had shared her sadness on Feb. 10, posting "I left sadness to myself" along with a music video by Taiwanese singer Bobby Chen titled with the same name.

"I fell in love with this song for no reason," she commented on her post. "It was written for me a long time ago."

She repeatedly shared the music video several times soon after.

Huang’s posts have garnered widespread sympathy online, with numerous social media users extending condolences and encouraging her to take care of her health during this challenging time. She has shown appreciation for their support by liking many of the comments.

Hsu was renowned for her roles in popular drama series such as "Meteor Garden," "Mars," and "Summer’s Desire." Her family confirmed her death from flu-related pneumonia in a statement released by her sister, Taiwanese host Dee Hsu, on Feb. 3.

Subsequent leaks of medical reports revealed that Hsu had missed two crucial medical treatments while in Japan. Her family has since returned her ashes to Taiwan and chosen a natural burial.
