Celebrities are sending their condolences to the victims of
Tuesday’s terror attacks in Brussels, after explosions in the Belgian capital
killed at least 31 people and injured more than 200.
Two bombs were detonated at the Brussels airport shortly
after 8 a.m. and one in the city’s subway an hour later, the Associated Press
reported.
According to the outlet, Belgium has issued the highest
possible terror alert in response. Meanwhile, airports across the globe,
including in New York City, have tightened security measures.

“We stand in solidarity with them in

President said.

The devastating news comes four months after similar attacks
ravaged Paris. Social media users, including many Hollywood figures, began
posting the hashtag #JeSuisBruxelles to show united support for both catastrophes.
Stars including Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Nick
Jonas, Iggy Azalea, Ian Somerhalder, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest and more shared
their sympathy for those affected.
In addition, Warner Bros. announced on Tuesday that it was canceling red carpet interviews for the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” premiere in London.
However,
the studio said in a statement that it planned to proceed with the event itself “rather than
yield to terror.”
Praying for peace around the world. Brussels my heart breaks for you.
