Stars Unite in Heartfelt Mourning for Charlie Kirk

SHOCKING CELEBRITY OUTRAGE: HOLLYWOOD HEAVYWEIGHTS SPEAK OUT AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S TRAGIC SHOOTING

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood's elite has taken to social media to express their outrage and condolences after the tragic shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The 31-year-old was gunned down on Wednesday while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University, leaving behind his grieving wife Erika and their two tiny tots - a three-year-old daughter and a 16-month-old son.

As the news of Kirk's assassination spread like wildfire, celebrities from far and wide took to their social media platforms to express their shock, sadness, and outrage. Among them was Chris Pratt, who penned a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter): "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 joined the chorus of condolences by reposting a tweet from Maria Shriver.

But Pratt wasn't the only A-lister who took to social media to express their grief. Mandy Moore shared a powerful message on Instagram stories from Moms Demand Action, which read: "Gun violence doesn't care about ideology." The This Is Us actress then added her own poignant caption: "There is no room for political violence in this discourse. Ever. You can disagree with someone's beliefs but this is a terrifying consequence of the world we're living in and it's a cancer."

Moore's words were echoed by Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, who reposted a statement from Turning Point USA - the organization co-founded by Kirk. The message was a poignant tribute to the slain activist: "It is with heavy heart that we confirm that Charles James Kirk has been murdered by a gunshot... May he be received into the merciful arms of our loving Savior, who suffered and died for Charlie." Bristol added her own heartfelt words: "We love you Charlie. Well done good and faithful servant."

But it wasn't just Moore and Bristol who spoke out against gun violence. Jake Paul took to X with a scathing critique of the current state of society: "Charlie Kirk got shot for telling the truth. That is literally it. What a mentally sick time we are living through. We need God more than ever Praying for Charlie's family and praying for these evil people to heal."

Meanwhile, Candace Cameron Bure shared a poignant photo of Kirk on her Instagram page with the caption: "We love you Charlie. Well done good and faithful servant." Arnold Schwarzenegger also took to X to express his condolences, writing: "My heart is with Charlie Kirk's family, and with the United States. Politics has become a disease in this country, and it's deadly. But don't listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure."

The former governor of California continued: "There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can't agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don't solve our debates with violence." He concluded by saying: "This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity."

Rosie O'Donnell took to Instagram with a powerful message, writing: "No just no - do not become the murderer - this is wrong on every level - #WeAreAllAmericans." Dr. Phil shared a video on X expressing his condolences, saying: "Charlie Kirk, husband, father, friend, American, has been assassinated. His spirit, passion and message will live on. Prayers for his soul and his wife and children."

Even the usually stoic Jimmy Kimmel couldn't help but share his outrage and sadness on Instagram, writing: "Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?" The late-night talk show host continued: "On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."

But not everyone was ready to speak out just yet. Stephen King tweeted on X: "The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable -- duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence."
