Here’s everything Kylie Jenner said about the AstroWorld tragedy that saw many lose their lives
A new documentary tells the survivors' stories
It’s been over three years since the devastating Astroworld tragedy, and now, a new documentary is reigniting the conversation. With survivors bravely sharing their stories on camera, people are focusing in on the incident once again, and some are interested in how those closest to Travis Scott responded at the time. One name that continues to come up? Kylie Jenner. From her initial social media posts to her silence in the weeks that followed, Kylie’s reaction to the tragedy is being revisited once again. Here’s everything she said about the Astroworld tragedy that left ten people dead and hundreds injured.
Kylie Jenner issued a statement after the Astroworld incident
On November 5, 2021, Travis Scott took to the stage to perform at his Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas.
Tragically, a deadly crowd surge began during the rapper’s headlining set, with tens of thousands of people pushing toward the front of the stage.
Many attendees were trapped, unable to breathe or move, resulting in panic and chaos.
The incident caused 10 deaths, and hundreds of people were injured.
Following the tragic accident, Kylie issued a statement via Instagram.
She said: “Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their lives, were injured or affected in any way by yesterday’s events…” per NBC News.
The Kardashians star 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…”
Kylie continued:
“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…”
Kylie Jenner took a social media break
For the seven weeks following the Astroworld incident, Kylie opted for a social media hiatus.
She returned to social media at Christmastime in 2021, posting to Instagram.
Her followers were pleased to see her return to IG. At the time, she was pregnant with her and Travis’ second child, Aire Webster, who was born in February 2022.
She was slammed for an Astroworld-themed party
Although Kylie addressed the Astroworld tragedies at the time, two years later, people slammed her for the theme of her children’s birthday party.
In 2023, she threw an Astroworld party for her kids Stormi and Aire.
Per The Los Angeles Times: “The event featured large gray inflatable heads, similar to one at the entrance of the 2021 music festival in Houston.”
The “revival of the theme” prompted “many to voice their criticism.”
People “accused her of being insensitive to the victims of the festival.”
