In Chinese, when referring to stars in the sky, we can use both words. While "星" (xīng) can also refer to a famous public figure (e.g. 影星, which means "movie star"), "星星" (xīng xing) has a narrower meaning only referring to stars in the sky.

星星 (xīngxing) is commonly used to refer to stars in the night sky. It can also be used to refer to a star-shaped object, such as a star-shaped cookie cutter.
