A heartbreaking post made by the mother of three children who were found dead in a burning house alongside their father has gone viral.

Levi Christenson, 38, and his 14-year-old twins, Oliver and Felix Christenson, and son Calvin Christenson, seven, were found dead inside the property in Grand Meadow, Minnesota, on Sunday, per the Minnesota Star Tribune.

First responder found smoke billowing from the property when they arrived, with the dad and his three sons all found dead inside.

Tragically, Calvin, Oliver, and Felix's deaths were ruled a homicide, while Levi died by suicide, according to a police release seen by the Rochester Post-Bulletin.

Mower County Sheriff Steven Sandvik said, per the Star Tribune, that Levi fatally shot his sons before turning the weapon on himself, in what is believed to be a murder-suicide, and "no suspects [are] being sought” in relation to the deaths.

The Sheriff's Office added: "The nature of this tragic and inconceivable tragedy occurring in a close-knit community has touched all parts of the community.

"We continue to ask that the privacy of all involved is respected during this extremely difficult time as the community comes together to help each other come to grips with this tragedy and work toward healing."

The cause of the fire at the property is still under investigation, while an online fundraiser has been created to support the boys' mother, Lauren Hosp.

The GoFundMe, which has so far raised $72,000 of its $90,000 target, was set up by DeeDee Payne, who wrote: "My dear friend Lauren has recently experienced an unimaginable tragedy, losing her three beloved boys.

"No mother should ever have to endure such a heartbreaking loss, and there are simply no words that could ever begin to describe the pain she is facing.

"Lauren's three boys were her entire world, her greatest blessings, and the light of her life. Everything she did was rooted in the love she had for them.

"She was a truly spectacular mother who loved her boys beyond measure. Her love, dedication, and devotion to them were evident in everything she did.

"Those who know Lauren know just how much being their mom meant to her. Her boys were her pride and joy, her happiness, and the center of her universe. The love she has for them is something that will never fade."

Following the tragic news, a post Lauren made in 2017 has resurfaced, in which she shared her pride at her beloved sons.

Sharing a photo of Oliver and Felix holding certificates declaring that they were the students of the month, she wrote: "Could I possibly be a luckier Momma?

"These two won student of the month for kindness – in separate classes, from separate teachers (neither or which knew the other had awarded their student). I have some amazing boys and I absolutely could not be more proud!"

Hannah Joy Walker has delivered a stark message to the women who accused her husband, Hollywood actor Kaalan Walker, of rape and sexual assault.

Following a four-month-long trial in 2024, the Superfly star was found guilty on three counts of forcible rape, one count of assault to commit oral copulation, two counts of statutory rape, and two counts of rape by intoxication.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Walker, 31, was also acquitted on two counts of forcible rape and one count of sexual penetration by force.

Despite his conviction, his wife Hannah, 30, has stayed by his side, as the couple tied the knot that same year, at a ceremony held behind bars.

The couple regularly stay in touch, speaking every day via a government-issued digital tablet while Hannah makes a 6-hour-long visit once a week.

Speaking to VT, Hannah explained why she believes her husband is innocent of the crimes he was found guilty of committing between the ages of 19 and 23.

Hannah's message to women who accused her husband of crimes

The Los Angeles-based publicist and paralegal-in-training reflected on her relationship to Walker, explaining that they were close friends at the time he was arrested.

After meeting up as friends a few times in 2018, describing him as 'respectful' as he 'took hours' to get to know her properly, she was confused as to why she had stopped replying, unaware of his arrest.

But after scrolling on her phone and seeing his mugshot appear, she recalled being 'floored', staring at the picture for 'quite some time'.

Then, she claimed that she had a conversation with God.

"I'm sitting in the back of the car, contemplating what I'm looking at, and for the first time, I felt God speak to me and tell me to reach out to him (Walker) and let him know that he's going to come out of this.

"He's going to be vindicated, regardless of what it looks like right now. He's going to be okay," she recalled being 'told by God.'

Despite having doubts, as she didn't know him that well, Hannah relented and sent him the message.

She eventually spoke to both Walker and his mother over the phone before meeting and building a relationship as he went in and out of custody, with the actor even staying with her family at one point.

Responding to some of the hate she receives from the public, Hannah said: "I literally walked into the chaos with him; I chose him.

When asked about whether she had a message for those who doubt Walker's innocence, including those who accused him, Hannah explained: “When my husband comes home, and people are like, ‘Oh my God, she was right.’ I look forward to that day so much.”

“I would tell doubters to keep watching everything unfold, because there’s a time that (his proven innocence) will come,” she admitted.

Hannah's certainty of Kaalan Walker's innocence

Speaking about the belief she has in her husband, Hannah responded to claims from people on social media, asking: “People think it’s delusional. It’s like, why is faith in God delusional?”

She recalled how 'confident' they were about the trial, revealing: "My husband chose to testify and take accountability for him living a reckless lifestyle and sleeping around and stuff, but not taking accountability for the crimes that he did not commit.

"People who accused him were getting caught up in lies; people were leaving the case, we thought that we had the upper hand, and so we're celebrating that we're about to be able to start our life and start a family; it was going to be beautiful.

"The verdict day happens, and I hit record on my phone because I wanted to remember this moment. Instead, I was met with the first verdict being read: guilty, and then another guilty, and another, and it kept going. And I just choked up. I was hyperventilating, shaking," Hannah said.

When asked about any doubts she may have about him getting released early from prison, she insisted: “There’s never, ever, ever been a single day of fear, of doubt or of worry.

“Those emotions simply have not existed, and it’s literally just the peace of God that has carried me through this.”

She again mentioned her connection to God, saying: “It is only the peace of God that has carried both him and I through this process.

“All things can happen through Christ, and He makes miracles happen every day. So why not for me?”

Katy Perry reportedly said that her ex-husband Russell Brand "should be in jail" months before the disgraced comedian was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

As widely reported, the 51-year-old was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for rape and three counts of sexual assault for offenses committed between 2004 and 2009 at Southwark Crown Court in London on Monday (November 9).

Justice Bennathan described the disgraced comedian as a "sexual predator" as he handed down his sentence.

"Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no and to demand justice from the criminal courts when sexual predators like you, Russell Brand, act without their consent," he added.

Perry's remark about her ex resurfaces

Months before Brand's conviction, Perry made a pointed joke about an ex during a performance in Oxfordshire, England, in July.

According to Bang Showbiz, the 'Teenage Dream' singer was playing an interactive game with the audience, asking them to act out having spotted an ex.

During the segment, Perry reportedly told the British audience: "I hope my ex isn’t here. He should be in jail."

Although she did not name Brand, the comment has resurfaced following his conviction and sentencing.

Old interview of Perry and Brand resurfaces

The renewed interest in their former relationship comes as footage of the pair attending the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party has circulated online.

Perry and Brand became romantically involved after filming a cameo for 2010’s Get Him to the Greek, but their relationship was short-lived.

In March of that year, they appeared together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where they were interviewed by a reporter from GMTV.

The interviewer asked them how the award ceremony was, and Brand was starting to answer when Perry called him out for not watching the show.

He then quipped, telling a fake anecdote about the ceremony that never took place, and the reporter told the 'Firework' musician: "You just put him in it right now."

Brand then said he did watch the award show while Perry told the reporter: "I call him on his bulls**t."

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star then scolded Perry, telling her not to swear. The reporter interjected that it was morning television, then changed the subject by asking Perry who she was happy to see win.

At that moment, Brand took out a small tag that had the word "Obey" on it.

An image of the tag appears to resemble the iconic Obey design associated with street artist Shepard Fairey.

Perry looked at the paper and stopped speaking, while Brand answered the question himself, saying he was "happy for everyone."

She then laughed and proceeded to hold his hand. The reporter then asked the pop star: "How do you deal with this guy?"

"Um...", she said as she watched her ex-partner, who appeared to move away from the carpet. "No - He's actually hilarious," she continued, adding something about Brand making her "speechless" and how usually she's the "bubbly one," so it makes her surprised at how funny he is.

The reporter told Perry to have a lovely night and noted that she is being pulled away "back, left, and center."

Brand and Perry got married in October 2010, separated in December 2011, and finalized their divorce in July 2012.

The singer has been dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since July 2025.

Meanwhile, Brand married Laura Gallacher in 2017, and they have three kids together.

Gallacher was reportedly visibly emotional as her husband received his lengthy prison sentence. The 39-year-old was seen "shaking a little" and breathing deeply as she sat with two female friends.

Following the sentencing, she reportedly mouthed: "I love you, I'll be OK" to Brand. And when Brand was taken away by guards, he reportedly nodded at her and said: "We’ll be OK."

The former radio host is being held at HMP Wandsworth in London. It is believed he will serve seven years of his sentence in prison, before being released on license for the remainder, subject to conditions.

He will also be required to remain on the sex offenders' register for life.

The wife of the now-convicted rapist and former comedian Russell Brand appeared visibly upset as she left court after muttering her last goodbyes to her husband.

This afternoon, Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

Moments after Justice Bennathan delivered the lengthy sentence, Laura, 39, was reportedly spotted mouthing, "I love you, I'll be OK" to her disgraced husband.

According to Sky News, she was “shaking a little” and breathing deeply while sitting with two female friends behind the former comedian as he was told his fate.

When Brand was taken away by guards, he reportedly nodded at Laura and said, “We’ll be OK.”

Brand's wife was visibly upset after saying goodbye to her husband for more than a decade

As Laura left London's Southwark Crown Court, she was seen looking distressed and muttering “it’s OK, it’s OK” to herself repeatedly.

Shortly after summarizing all the allegations against Brand, the judge called him a “sexual predator” and commended the bravery of the women who testified against him.

Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, which span 10 years from 1999, the former Hollywood star was found guilty on four counts.

They included raping a woman at his house in London and sexually assaulting three different women at their workplaces at a radio station and a TV studio.

Laura's emotional reaction to her husband's sentencing came after she openly shook her head while one of her husband's victims read out a heartbreaking statement to the courtroom.

The woman who was attacked by Brand in a London bar in 2004 said: “For many years as his star was rising it was impossible to escape seeing him all over the media, being celebrated for his disgusting behaviour against women like it was all a joke.

“There were many times I felt visibly sick at the sight of him parading around, thinking he can get away with anything.”

Brand's team begged for his family to be considered by the court

The defense asked for Brand to be granted an "act of humanity" by being allowed to return home before his sentencing to say goodbye to his children, but the judge refused and ordered him to be incarcerated immediately.

Ian Winter KC, who is leading Brand’s defense team, asked the judge for leniency, insisting he’s “a fundamentally different person now.” The team also argued that Laura and the couple’s three children are “innocent” and should have been taken into account when their husband/father was sentenced.

Winter also claimed Laura was feeling “total devastation” over the verdict, and that “words are completely inadequate” to describe how she is feeling.

Another unnamed celebrity allegedly has an injunction to thwart allegations against him being published to the public.

Following Russell Brand’s sexual assault(s) and rape conviction, where he received a 10-and-a-half-year prison sentence, David Walliams hit headlines for sexual misconduct claims, after he unsuccessfully tried to acquire an injunction.

Now, another man, who remains unidentified, has sought to obtain an injunction, according to Justine Smith, a journalist on The Private Eye Podcast, who revealed there are “multiple, multiple victims” involved.

Discussing the matter on the podcast, Smith warned: “There are two men at the moment who can’t be named. One for the most recent proceedings, and then one from several months back.

“Both of them, there are injunctions on reporting anything. Both of them multiple, multiple victims. Both of them in the public eye.”

She added: “I’ve spoken to one of the alleged victims in one of them, she’s prepared to speak publicly and be named, but we still can’t publish that.

“He’s managed to get an injunction, very heavily slapped anyone who dares to say anything about it. So we know this man is out there potentially abusing other people and there’s nothing we can do to report it.”

Reports come days after Brand's conviction and allegations against Walliams

This comes just days after Brand was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault and one count of rape, with the now-disgraced comedian and actor handed a lengthy jail term.

Following that news, Walliams, a comedian, actor, and children’s author, was revealed as the latest celebrity to be caught up in sex abuse scandals, after it was alleged that he had used his status to groom, prey on, and abuse girls, some as young as 15 years old.

Walliams, who had tried to impose an injunction on both ITN and The Guardian to prevent them reporting on the claims, has vehemently denied the allegations against him.

It has been alleged that Walliams has multiple victims, some of which he reportedly met at meet-and-greets, including a 15-year-old girl, who he is accused of grooming, before allegedly having sex with her when she was 17 years old. Other alleged victims include former colleagues and fans.

In response to this investigation, Walliams said: "Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with... I realize I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret.

"And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely, and it is something that I never did...

“I am not a sexual predator... I have not broken the law... I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me," he added.
