She posted a video to Instagram, sharing Ezra’s tragic story with her 2.3 million followers: “I’m reading about this nine-year-old boy, Ezra Blount, who was at that disastrous concert — it should be called a “Travisty,” actually,” she said.
I was up all night thinking about those poor children (someone’s babies) at that concert. It’s so tragic….when something so unnecessary could have been avoided, I obsess incessantly about how to change the course of events.

She also tweeted that she had “been up all night thinking about those poor children (someone’s babies) at that concert. It’s so tragic….when something so unnecessary could have been avoided, I obsess incessantly about how to change the course of events.” While announcing her donation, she also shared her resources from her BStrong charity to allow fans to donate to other victims of the chaotic festival, which left eight people dead. Ezra’s GoFundMe page had raised ‘$14,000 dollars,’ she said, though the campaign has raised more than $38,000 of its $50,000 goal as of Wednesday morning.
The family of little Ezra is now suing Travis Scott. The 9-year-old, who is believed to be the youngest victim, sustained severe damage to his brain, kidney, and liver after being “kicked, stepped on, and trampled, and nearly crushed to death,” the lawsuit said. He is currently in critical condition at the hospital with injuries that are likely “catastrophic.”
