Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott ‘Weren’t Aware Of Any Fatalities’ Following Astroworld Crowd Surge

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were unaware of the fatalities from the crowd surge at the Astroworld festival in Houston on Friday night until the rapper ended his set on stage.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” personality shared a statement to her Instagram Story on Sunday addressing the incident.

“Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their lives, were injured or affected in any way by yesterday’s events,” Jenner wrote.

“Also for Travis, who I know cares deeply for his fans and the Houston community. 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.”

Jenner, who is pregnant with her and Scott’s second child, wrapped up the statement by sending her condolences to the families affected by the incident.

The reality star’s words come after Scott shared a series of Instagram stories addressing the Astroworld festival crowd surge, which left eight people dead.

“I just want to send out prayers to the ones that was lost last night. We’re actually working right now to identify the families so we can help assist them through this tough time,” Scott said.

“My fans really mean the world to me, and I always just want to leave them with a positive experience, and anytime I can make out anything that’s going on — stop the show and help them get the help they need... I just could never imagine the severity of the situation.”

At least eight people died and about 300 were injured at the concert after the crowd rushed the stage. Reports surfaced that at least some of the deaths and injuries were from drug injections targeted against innocent people.

During a news conference on Saturday, Houston Fire Chief Sam Pena revealed details about the cause of the incident.

“The crowd for whatever reason began to push and surge towards the front of the stage, which caused the people in the front to be compressed,” Pena explained. “They were unable to escape that situation.”

Houston officials continue to investigate the causes of deaths.
