Here’s How Celebs Are Showing Their Support for London Following Its Terror Attack

It was just under two weeks ago that the world watched in horror as an arena full of young girls was attacked with a terrorist bomb at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. With its victims still struggling to pick up the pieces of the tragedy they endured and a benefit show planned by Grande in their honor (tune in after the NBA finals on ABC), another shocking attack has occurred in the UK, this time in London.


Seven people were killed and 48 more were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd of pedestrians on the London Bridge. The reign of terror continued as three men exited the car, wielding knives and embarking on a “stabbing spree.” Though CNN reports that police responded in just eight minutes, killing three men in faux suicide vests on sight and arresting 12 more separately in East London, 21 of the attack’s victims remain in critical condition. Hollywood is now responding to the sickening incident: See their words of love and support below.

1. Sarah Michelle Gellar: Posting a pic of the British flag, SMG summed up the attacks of recent weeks, saying, “Our planet is beautiful, but at times our world is ugly.”

2. Niall Horan: Former One Directioner and UK-bred Niall Horan said that his thoughts were with the victims.

3. Ariana Grande: Grande, who was present for the original Manchester incident, tweeted her support for London.

4. Chelsea Clinton: Clinton, who once lived in London, said that her heart was breaking for the city and its victims.

5. Cara Delevingne: London-born model Cara Delevingne posted an ode to her hometown in the form of a Hubert Gregg poem.

6. Leah Remini: The Kevin Can Wait star had a simple request for her fans: Pray for humanity.

7. Naomi Watts: “More sadness. Sending love to all. #nomorehate,” actress Naomi Watts wrote.
