KHLOE Kardashian has been slammed for posting group photos from a friend’s wedding just hours after an Astroworld victim died.
Ezra Blount, nine, was taken off life support on Sunday after being trampled in a crowd surge during Travis Scott’s set at the Texas music festival on November 5.
He became the tenth victim of the devastating event after suffering critical injuries and being placed in a medically induced coma.
Amid the tragedy, Khloe – whose sister Kylie Jenner is Travis’ baby mama – shared photos with her family and friends from their pal Simon Huck’s wedding.
The 37-year-old posed with sisters Kendall and Kourtney, Kourtney’s fiance Travis Barker and pals Hailey Bieber and Stephanie Shepherd in several glamorous snaps.
The KUWTK star simply captioned the shoot with a black heart emoji.
While some of Khloe’s fans praised the shots, others called her out for posting them just hours after Ezra died.
One critic commented: “She posted this the same day the nine-year-old boy was taken off life support. They don’t care.”
Another added: “That poor boy and his family. Makes me sick.”
A third posted: “Wow… all those people died and they just move on like oh well… the truth right here.”
Ezra suffered critical injuries at Astroworld in Houston after he fell off of his dad’s shoulders when the crowd of around 50,000 people suddenly surged towards the stage.
He was on life support for days but his family confirmed that he died on Sunday, according to ABC13.
Ezra’s family filed a negligence lawsuit against concert promoter Live Nation and Travis Scott, blaming them for the boy’s catastrophic injuries.
According to the suit, filed by famed civil rights attorney Ben Crump, Ezra was “suddenly forced to watch in terror as several concertgoers were injured and killed” during the crowd surge.
Crump said Ezra was “kicked, stepped on, and trampled” as people around him were lifting up “unconscious bodies of friends and strangers and surfed them over the top of the crowd, hoping to send them to safety.”
Ezra’s aunt Taylor Gabrielle Blount previously told The Sun the boy had suffered brain swelling and his organs were damaged.
With Ezra’s passing, the death toll of Astroworld is now ten. Bharti Shahani, 22, also died from her injuries days after the concert.
This is not the first time Khloe has come under fire for her social media activity in the wake of Astroworld.
She was also slammed for sharing a “tone-deaf” sexy selfie with Scott Disick from the night of the concert.
Her sister Kourtney and their mom Kris have also faced backlash for their handling of the devastating events.
Kris was ripped for shared a “tacky” photo of the roses she received from Travis Barker for her 66th birthday hours after the tragedy.
Kourtney, meanwhile, has never addressed the events and instead continued to post on Instagram as normal.
