As the world wakes up to the tragic news out of Bondi Beach, prominent sports and entertainment voices have offered tributes to those affected, while condemning the horrific events.<\/p>\n

Perth-raised singer and actor Troye Sivan, who attended Carmel School \u2014 a Jewish day school in Dianella \u2014 said his heart was broken for his community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Australian Jewish community \u2014 my community \u2014 suffered a terrorist attack tonight, on the first night of Chanukah, on Bondi Beach,\u201d he shared to Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart is broken. Thinking tonight of the victims and their families, the Bondi and wider Sydney communities, and for every Jewish person in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not who we are as Australians. Sending so much love to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is believed a Sydney-based father and son were responsible for opening fire on revellers at a Chanukah celebration, resulting in thousands of panicked beach-goers fleeing the popular strip, and 15 innocent lives being lost.<\/p>\n

Jewish figure and actor Sacha Baron Cohen, who lived temporarily in Perth during COVID to be closer to the family of ex-wife Isla Fisher, said faith should not dictate the value of a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cHanukkah, 2025, Bondi Beach. It could be your family, your child. No one should die because of their faith. May their memory be a blessing \u2014 and a light toward tolerance and peace. #StopTheHate\u201d, he wrote to social media.<\/p>\n

Fisher, who now resides with her three kids in London, echoed her former husband\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur light will not be dimmed. Tonight we light for Bondi,\u201d she wrote, referencing the ceremonial pastime of lighting candles on Chanukah, which repeats on each of the festival\u2019s eight nights.<\/p>\n

Sydney-raised actor Rose Byrne said she was \u201cshocked\u201d by the events that unfolded in a country as safe as Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so horrified by the terrorist attack on Bondi Beach, in my beautiful hometown of Sydney,\u201d she shared to social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe heart goes out to the victims, their families & the Jewish community. Australia is one of the safest places in the world to practice any religion and am shocked, heartbroken & horrified by this unspeakable news.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popular figure Oprah Winfrey reflected on her time in Australia, revealing she was at the famed beach strip just days prior.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just spent the last 2 weeks in Australia, walking Bondi just days ago feeling the openness and ease that lives there,\u201d she wrote to Threads.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to reconcile that sense of peace with the terror of last night. My heart breaks for the victims, their families and loved ones, and all you Aussies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles-based actor Rebel Wilson, who was born in Sydney, labelled the events \u201cun-Australian\u201d and condemned both gun violence and antisemitism in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust waking up the news about what\u2019s happened on Bondi Beach. An absolute tragedy that is the most un-Australian thing to have happen,\u201d she wrote to Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have gun violence in Australia, we shouldn\u2019t have antisemitism \u2014 it\u2019s not us! Thinking of everyone affected by this devastating violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singer Kylie Minogue wrote simply, \u201cMy heart is with you Bondi\u201d.<\/p>\n

While Sydney-born comic Jim Jefferies said he was \u201cvery angry\u201d, and heaped praise on a man who wrestled the gun out of one of the shooter\u2019s hands, labelling him a \u201cf***** legend\u201d.<\/p>\n
