Horrified by the terrorist attacks in Paris that have left more than 150 people dead, several LGBTI celebrities took to social media Friday to express their support.
‘Praying For Paris,’ wrote singer Sam Smith. ‘Sitting here staring at the news. My thoughts and my heart is with all the family and friends of the victims and to everyone in Paris and France tonight. Please all stay at home and stay safe.’
There were multiple coordinated attacks in several locations in the French city including a soccer stadium and at least two restaurants. Most of the deaths occurred in the Bataclan theater where US rock band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to perform in concert, according to CNN.
