A New York City firefighter has been killed after a massive fire broke out at a building in Harlem where a movie starring Bruce Willis and directed by Ed Norton was being shot.

FDNY officials said in a tweet that the blaze broke out in the basement of the building on St. Nicolas Avenue.

Authorities said at least one other person was injured and taken to an area hospital. It was not immediately clear whether that person also was a firefighter.

The dead firefighter has not been officially identified.

Eric Phillips, Mayor Bill de Blasio's press secretary, tweeted: "This is an awful night. We've lost an NYC firefighter."

Multiple media reports indicate the blaze broke out on the set of Motherless Brooklyn, starring Bruce Willis, Willem Dafoe and Alec Baldwin.
