Hollywood celebrities have reacted to the tragic shooting of political conservative activist Charlie Kirk – which occurred on Wednesday while he was speaking at a Utah Valley University event.
Kirk, 31, passed away after being shot in the neck by a single bullet while addressing a crowd outside on the campus – leaving behind his wife Erika as well as their two children: a daughter, three, and son, 16-months-old.
FBI Director Kash Patel gave an update on X that a ‘suspect’ related to the ‘horrific shooting’ has now been taken into custody.
Chris Pratt was just one of the stars who took to social media to offer thoughts on the assassination and penned on X: ‘Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God’s grace. God help us.’
The actor’s wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, also responded to the shooting by reposting a tweet from Maria Shriver.
The post read: ‘This is a violent act of hate that we all must denounce, all of us, regardless of party. This is reprehensible, horrendous violence that affects each and every one of us.’
