The Blount Family Declines Travis Scott’s Offer

The family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest victim in the Astroworld tragedy, has declined Travis Scott’s offer to cover their funeral expenses. 

Responding to Scott’s letter expressing remorse over Ezra’s death and an offer to cover the boy’s funeral expenses, the Blount family lawyer Bob Hilliard wrote: “Your client’s offer is declined. I have no doubt Mr. Scott feels remorse. His journey ahead will be painful. He must face and hopefully see that he bears some of the responsibility for this tragedy.”
