After five police officers were killed in Dallas on Thursday, comedians, actors and musicians took to Twitter to share their heartbreak with fans.
The majority of these celebrities attempted to spread messages of positivity to their followers, with Kevin Hart in particular saying that love conquers all. Others responded with outrage, such as television producer Shonda Rhimes, who said that Black Lives Matter has nothing to do with this violence and who called for increased gun control.
Particularly quick to respond with shock and terror were celebrities from Dallas, such as Marissa Callahan, who noted that the violence had hit home for her.
Here are some of the celebrity reactions you need to see. Keep checking back in to see further responses as they come in.
These Dallas shootings are horrific. Killing these officers is morally reprehensible and completely counterproductive to keeping us safe.
My heart hurts. God help us.
Stick together during this divided time. Be kind&compassionate to one another. Speak positively. Invision a peaceful future. #DallasProtest
Why isn’t anyone talking about gun control? Last night, a man with a high powered rifle committed a mass shooting. Again. GUN CONTROL.
If I hear one more idiot suggest that #BlackLivesMatter incited this… The level of ignorance is stunning. Just absolutely stunning.
My heart hurts. Too much death. Too much hate. Hug your loved ones tight. Tell them that in the darkest times, we MUST love even harder.
Demanding respect for black lives is in no way inciting violence against police officers. Murder is madness. It is never the answer.
Brent Thompson. 4 more officers dead, names still unreleased. More wounded.
Heartsick for Dallas this morning.
