Heartfelt tributes have poured in for former One Direction member Liam Payne who reportedly died on Thursday.
The 31-year-old singer was found dead after falling from the third room of the Casa Sur Hotel in Palermo in Buenos Aries, Argentina. Police confirmed his death in a heartbreaking statement.
“Liam James Payne, composer and guitarist, former member of the band One Direction, died today after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Palermo,” the statement read.
Citing officials, local publications La Nacion and Clarin reported that police were called to the hotel in Palermo, responding to an emergency call that cited “an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”
Following news reports of his tragic passing, friends and celebrities alike have shared tributes to the pop star on social media.
On Instagram, other celebrities have taken to their IG Stories in tribute.
Fans of the “Strip That Down” singer have also struggled to come to terms with the news.
Liam’s One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan are yet to comment publicly on his passing. I think it’s fair to say that despite the differences they’ve had in the past, they’ll need time and space to process this horrible news.
Sending love to Liam’s friends and family during this difficult time.
