We’re still trying to process the sad news of the fertilizer plant explosion that shook the small town of West, Texas. So far, we know that over 160 sustained injuries and the number of deaths is in the range of 5 to 15 and continues to rise as a result of the shocking event.
A wide range of celebrities and prominent figures from Katy Perry to Pope Francis have taken to Twitter to send their positive thoughts and prayers to the small community that is attempting to recover from the tragedy. Here are some of their messages:
Man… Thinking about all my Texas family and friends tonight. I love y’all.

It’s great to see everyone showing so much support for West, and we also continue to send our thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected by explosion.
