"My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by this tragedy," he continued. "It's times like this that remind us we need to treat every day with the importance it deserves. Give your family and friends a hug today and let them know they are safe and loved."
El Moussa's reveal comes a day after the heartbreaking events took place, and he wasn't the only big star at the scene of the devastating crime.
