Almost a month after former The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was shot and killed by a crazed fan while signing autographs after a show, her family has broken their silence on the outpour of support and donations from her fans.
In their statement they say, “As we have always known, Christina’s life was so very special, not only to us, but to everyone she touched with her joyful heart, beautiful voice and love for life and the Lord. Words cannot express what the many memorials, donations and tributes shared by Christina’s fans and those in the media and entertainment industry mean to us. She will live on in our hearts forever. We will take our time in determining the best ways to honor Christina moving forward.”
Grimmie’s manager set up a GoFundMe page in support of the family and the funeral expenses. Since the page opened, the donations have reached nearly $200,000. The page will close on July 10th. The family also released a memorial video in honor of the late star shortly after her death. Watch now:
