Josh added: “I am safe, though heartbroken at what has happened in my beautiful home. Sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone who has been affected by this. My heart is with you all.”
Admitting he felt ‘guilty’ for surviving the attack in which 40 people remain injured, and 16 dead after a father and son opened fire on the innocent party, Josh continued: “I was down at Bondi yesterday and saw some pretty horrific things…
“Parents grabbing their kids, grandparents sprinting, brothers and sisters grabbing each other with a look of absolute fear in their eyes, terrified.
“I’m not sure why I’m even making this video. Maybe to raise awareness and come together, but I do feel pretty weird today that I was able to run away to safety and other people weren’t. I don’t know how to feel. I’m a bit numb as to why I was able to get away.”
Telling his followers to keep their loved one close, he concluded: “I think It’s important that we come together. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and put your arm around someone.
“I can’t even imagine the people out there who have someone close to them who has been affected by this, who have suffered injury or even worse.”
It comes as Australian superstar, Kylie Minogue, shared her condolences for the victims of the shooting in which 50-year-old gunman, Sajid Akram, is also dead while his son, Naveed Akram, remains in hospital and is in police custody.
Taking to Instagram, Kylie, who performed on Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday, posted an all black background of mourning and alongside it shared: “My heart is with you Bondi” followed by a broken heart emoji.
Her fellow Australian, Stefan Dennis, also posted to social media in the wake of the tragedy. The Neighbours actor shared with fans: “This madness needs to stop.”
