i guess it is ok to say that “i am sorry to hear that" or "sorry about..." or "i am sad to hear...”

不对呀,楼上的,当我说"sorry about that",人家的回答是:it's not your fault.

"I am sorry" or "Sorry about that" is the simplified usage of "I am sorry to hear that".  Although the respones is " It's not your fault," IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!
