Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have broken their silence after eight people died and hundreds were injured following a crowd surge at the musician’s concert over the weekend.
The incident, which is now under investigation by police, took place at Scott's Astroworld festival in Houston, Texas on Friday, November 5 after the crowd pressed forward towards the front of the stage during the musician’s headline set.
In a statement shared on Twitter following the event, Scott thanked the police and emergency services. He said he was ‘committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need’.
He also shared a video message on Instagram, during which the father-of-one asked for fans to come forward to the authorities with any information about the event.

‘I’m honestly just devastated and I could never imagine anything like this to happen,’ he said.
Jenner – who attended the event with her sister Kendall Jenner and daughter Stormi – also shared a message on her Instagram Stories in which she stated that she and Scott were ‘broken and devastated’ by the incident.
‘I want to make it clear we weren't aware of any fatalities until the news came out after the show and in no world would have continued filming or performing,’ she wrote.
'I am sending my deepest condolences to all the families during this difficult time and will be praying for the healing of everyone who has been impacted.'
