Kiwi superstar Lucy Lawless has taken to Twitter to sing a heartfelt tribute for not only those directly affected by the Christchurch terror attack, but a country in shock.
The Xena: Warrior Princess star posted a video of herself singing a song from the TV series, looking red-faced and teary-eyed.
Lyrics include lines like: "Our hearts are hurting beyond words / the pain is tearing up my soul / these days have seen my spirit die / a life propelled out of control".
She captioned it: "Because I know you will understand. #Xenites #Xena". The song - which was written by Joseph LoDuca and nominated for an Emmy - featured in an episode of Xena called The Bitter Suite.
Lawless' video is just one of many tweets the star has made in the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque shootings.
