This is beyond horrible.
Celebrities jumped on social media to react to the news of the Las Vegas mass shooting, which left 50 dead and more than 400 injured, and everyone is understandably shaken. The shooter, a 64-year-old man named Stephen Paddock, opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival with an automatic weapon from his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay.
"Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still don't know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that Me and my Crew are safe. My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night. #heartbroken #stopthehate," Jason Aldean, who was performing at the time, said on Instagram.
"Praying for all the innocent victims and their families in Las Vegas," Celine Dion wrote. "My heart is breaking for everyone in Vegas tonight. Simply devastating. So much loss," Kelly Clarkson added.
