Celebrities are taking to social media to express their outrage and support of the demonstrations in Colombia that have left many people dead.
J Balvín, who's been vocal on social media about the ongoing protests in his home country, told The Associated Press on Wednesday, via video, that he was "sad to see so many people are dying right now."
Sixteen protestors and one policeman have been killed in the demonstrations since last Wednesday in Bogota. That figure doesn't include reports of deaths in the Colombian city of Cali on Monday, which The United Nations said it is still trying to confirm.
