Chris Pratt, Meghan McCain and more celebs are speaking out about Charlie Kirk’s shocking death Wednesday.

The conservative commentator died after he was shot while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.

He was 31 years old.

Chris Pratt posted on X, “Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God’s grace. God help us.”

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said the shooting was not an issue that should be Republican vs. Democrat.

“RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem, he wrote on X,

Former “The View” host Meghan McCain shared a fiery response, and said Kirk’s shooting was not going to stop conservatives from speaking out.

“Rest in peace Charlie Kirk. The mark you have made on the world will forever be a blessing and memory, she wrote on X. “We pray for your eternal rest with our Lord. May God bless your family always and be with your children and wife Erika.”

She added in a follow-up tweet, “If you think you’re going to scare and silence conservatives to stop speaking and fighting for truth, God, America, family and the soul of our country – you’ve never met one of us.”

Former race driver Danica Patrick noted we are in a mental health crisis in a message posted on her Instagram Stories

“What is wrong with people? We have an epidemic of mental illness. Praying so much for his family and everyone [who] knows him and loves him.”

Jake Paul also mentioned mental health, writing on X, “Charlie Kirk got shot for telling the truth. That is literally it. What a mentally sick time we are living through We need god more than ever Praying for Charlie’s family and praying for these evil people to heal.”

Meanwhile, Piers Morgan called the shooting “appalling.”

“An appalling assault on free speech and democracy,” he wrote on X. “Charlie always welcomed debate, with anyone. This is disgusting, and heart-breaking. RIP Charlie.”

Former NFL star Brett Favre appeared to be in a state of shock,

Farve wrote on X, “I’m at a loss for words. Only thing I can think of is tragic. Please keep Charlie Kirk and his family in your prayers….”

Writer Stephen King called attention to the shooting being “another example of American gun violence.”

“The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn’t clear (although he’s probably mentally unstable–duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence,” he wrote on X.

President Donald Trump, who counted Kirk as a close ally, announced the news of the father of two’s death.

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Trump said in his Truth Social post. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”

Kirk was married to Miss Arizona USA Erika Frantzve. He was also a father to a daughter, 3, and a 1-year-old son.
