Twenty-four-year-old Rihanna, who headlined the Hackney Weekend last Sunday, was among 300 guests forced out of bed by the early alarm call.

She wandered the streets around Whitehall Place while emergency crews tackled the blaze. The Barbados-born star took to Twitter to inform her followers of the incident.

“Roamin da streets since 6am! Fyah in da telly,” she wrote.

A fire brigade said the fire caused a small amount of damage to a lift on the seventh floor of the hotel.

Around 10 firefighters dealt with the incident after being called at 6.22am.
