Kylie Jenner broke her silence about the tragedy that occurred at boyfriend Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston that left eight people dead

Jenner, who is expecting her second child with Scott, took to her Instagram Story on Saturday to share her condolences with the families of the victims. She also made sure to note that Scott was not aware of the gravity of the situation happening in the crowd when he decided to continue on with the show. 

"Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their lives, were injured or affected in anyway by yesterday’s events," Jenner wrote in her statement. 
"And also for Travis who I know cares deeply for his fans and the Houston community."

She added: "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. 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."

The crowd at the event reportedly surged leading to individuals getting trampled and causing many injuries and deaths.  

In the hours following the incident, a video began circulating on Twitter featuring Scott, 29, performing while police seemingly worked to resuscitate a nearby attendee.
