Charlie Kirk Death: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jimmy Kimmel react to Donald Trump's ally and activist's killing

Various Hollywood celebrities have reacted to the sudden death of right-wing activist and Trump's close ally, Charlie Kirk. He was shot dead instantly after a single bullet hit him in the neck; the incident took place during a college event at Utah Valley University. He was also the co-founder of Turning Point USA. Now, several celebrities from Hollywood have reacted to the sudden turn of events.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is often seen making sharp critiques of Trump, after the event asked people to show some compassion toward the mourners and called to stop the 'angry finger-pointing' during the tragedy. He wrote on his Instagram, "Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just, for one day, agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents, and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."

Arnold Schwarzenegger also mourned the loss of his X and called the incident a " horrible tragedy." He wrote, "My heart is with Charlie Kirk's family and with the United States. Politics has become a disease in this country, and it's deadly. But don't listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can't agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don't solve our debates with violence. "
