Kim Kardashian has deleted a tweet expressing her solidarity with and love for Ariana Grande after an attack at her concert in Manchester Monday night. “Concerts are supposed to be a place where you can let loose and have fun. So scary not to feel safe in this world. Ariana Grande I love you,” Kardashian tweeted. The tweet also included a photo of Kardashian, her sister Kendall Jenner and Grande, taken last year at a Kanye West concert.

Kardashian also tweeted earlier that she was praying for everyone in Manchester. As a mother of two, she also expressed that she couldn’t imagine what the parents of missing children were experiencing.

I'm praying for everyone in Manchester. This is truly so senseless & heart breaking.

— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) May 23, 2017

I can't imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids ????

Kardashian’s tweets were just a few amid a flood of support that has poured in for both Grande and the victims of the attack. Several other celebrities also included photos of themselves with Grande. However, many found the picture in Kardashian’s tweet to Grande inappropriate because she was included in the photo. Grande posted an Instagram after the concert she attended with Kardashian and Jenner, however, calling the experience “magical.”

Here’s some of the backlash Kardashian received after posting her tweet:

@KimKardashian We're never going to forget when you posted an inappropriate pic and made the #Manchesterbombing all about you. (Screenshots are forever.) pic.twitter.com/lsZlptqWio

The attack from Monday night has been determined a terrorist attack. At least 22 have died and 59 are left injured.

It is the worst terrorist attack in the U.K. since the London bombings on July 7, 2005, that claimed 52 lives.

The explosion happened in the foyer of the arena, not the main event hall, according to the British Transport Police, which protects adjacent Victoria Station. Concertgoers were evacuated from the Manchester Arena following a “loud bang,” Greater Manchester Police said.
