Travis Scott will pay the funeral costs of the eight people who died at his Astroworld festival on Friday, his representatives told Insider.
Scott in a statement through his team said he would pay the funeral costs of those who died when the sold-out crowd of around 50,000 people surged toward the stage Friday during Scott's performance.
Scott will also partner with the online counseling 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."
All of the eight people who died at the Friday music festival have been identified. Those who died include a ninth-grader, a 16-year-old dancer, and two best friends who were celebrating a birthday, as Insider previously reported.
