Etta Ng, the estranged daughter of Jackie Chan, claims that she has been left homeless and has been sleeping under a bridge with her girlfriend Andi Autumn, having revealed the news in a video.

Etta has never had a relationship with her father, veteran Hollywood actor Jackie Chan - who Forbes estimates made $49 million (£35 million) last year, and whose net worth has previously been reported as $350m (£254m).

Making the announcement in a YouTube video, the 19-year-old said that family and friends are no longer willing to help her, and that she lives in fear of being separated from her girlfriend if they were to reach out to homeless shelters.

In the video, Etta explains that her and Andi have been homeless due to homophobia in the family.

"Hi I'm Jackie Chan's daughter and this is my girlfriend Andi," Etta begins.

"We've been homeless for a month due to homophobic parents. We pretty much slept under a bridge, and other things."

Andi continues to explain that friends have stopped answering her phonecalls, saying: "I've asked all my friends for help.

"I've asked all my family for help. Everyone just keeps sending us to the direction of shelters, where they know we will be split up."

Etta adds: "I don't even understand. We've gone to the police, we've gone to the hospital, the food banks, LGBTQ community shelters and all of them just don't give a shit.

"Two people in love that share true love are trying not to get split apart and they're trying to fuck us over just because - I don't understand it - I love her."

Etta has been dating Canadian social media star Andi Autumn - who has over 100,000 followers on Instagram - since February 2017.

Etta came out on Instagram six months ago, saying: "In case no one got the memo, I'm gay."

Jackie Chan had an affair with Etta's mother, Elaine Ng, in 1999, while he was married to Joan Lin.

But it wasn't until 2004 while promoting Around the World in 80 Days that the famous actor addressed his lovechild publicly, reportedly saying: "I know I have failed my daughter, but since her mother is that kind of a person, I don't know how to treat [my daughter]."

Etta has previously said that she is 'not angry' with her father, saying that she has never wished to see him.

"He is my biological father but he is not in my life. He never existed in my life. I will never regard him as a father," she said.

"I am not angry with my father, and have never wished to see him. As long as I have my mother with me, I don't need my father."
