Jackie Chan was the star of a charity concert on Monday which raised US$4.8 million for victims of the recent earthquake in China.

More than 100 celebrities from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan took to the stage at the event in Hong Kong, including Donnie Yen, Leon Lai and actor Andy Lau.

Chan also appeared in a video which was screened at the Artistes 414 Fundraising Campaign concert, showing him working with victims of the quake which struck Qinghai province earlier this month, killing more than 2,200 people.

Talking about the disaster onstage, Lau told the crowd, "The quake area is located in a plateau. It's 10 times worse than we thought. And the winter will come soon. It is urgent to take action."
