Travis Scott will pay the funeral costs of the eight people who died at his Astroworld festival on Friday, November 5, his representatives said in a statement.
As reported by BBC News, panic ensued on the opening night of the Texas festival as the crowd rushed and pushed towards the front of the stage, emergency officials have said.
According to reports, eleven people were transported to hospitals in cardiac arrest as eight people tragically died. Some people were also treated on-site at the NRG Park, at the temporary field hospital.
Of the 50,000 people who attended the Houston event, roughly 300 were treated for minor injuries such as bruising and cuts.
Scott in a statement through his team said he would pay the funeral costs of those who have died, CNN reports.
The rapper - who is expecting his second child with Kylie Jenner - will also partner with the online therapy service BetterHelp to provide free therapy to those who attended his festival, according to the statement.
"Travis remains in active conversations with the city of Houston, law enforcement, and local first responders to respectfully and appropriately connect with the individuals and families of those involved," the statement said.
"These are the first of many steps Travis plans on taking as a part of his personal vow to assist those affected throughout their grieving and recovery process," the statement concluded.
Scott took to social media over the weekend, writing: "I'm absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival."
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner was in attendance at the festival and also posted a statement to say that both she and Scott did not know what was happening in the crowd during the performance.
She wrote: "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.
"And also for Travis who I know cares deeply for his fans and the Houston community. 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.
"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."
