Bebe Rexha has reached out her fans after sustaining a deep cut near her eye from a phone which was hurled at her by an over-enthusiastic fan.

While performing on the stage during her 13th concert at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City on Sunday, Rexha got hit in the head by the fan’s phone. A video of the unfortunate incident went viral on social media.

After the incident, Rexha’s mother had revealed that the singer had to receive three stitches during medical treatment.

In a viral video of the incident, Rexha was seen getting down on her knees on stage after a phone hit her straight in the face. Crew members are spotted rushing to her aid. The incident led to Rexha to end the concert early. A meet and greet which was scheduled to happen, was also cancelled.

Fans of the singer got angry over what happened to her. Many Twitter users condemened the incident on the social media platform and posted supportive wishes for Rexha’s well-being and health.
