Sophia Bush's boyfriend Dan Fredinburg is safe after an avalanche at Mount Everest killed at least 12 people.

The 31-year-old actress confirmed the good news about the Google program manager on Friday morning. Fredinburg has been hiking the world's highest peak for almost a month.

"For all concerned, @danfredinburg & team are safe at Camp 1 on #Everest after the avalanche. Please keep the Sherpa's in your prayers," the One Tree Hill alum tweeted.

Bush also shared an inspirational message in an Instagram snapshot with the caption, "practice, #gratitude."

Meanwhile, Fredinburg's most recent Instagram post from his adventure was on Thursday.

"Day 25: Super hero shot in front of the beautiful icefall. We went in it and came back out more energized than ever. #everestawesome #khumbuicefall," he added along with the stunning snapshot.

Bush and Fredinburg first confirmed their romance last April and the brunette beauty admitted on Instagram last August that she usually shies away from "personal stuff."

"I wouldn't have been the same without this man by my side," the former Partners star gushed about Fredinburg along with a red carpet photograph of the handsome pair at the Do Something Awards. "Thank you, Dan, for loving my passion and my fight. Thank you for being the spark to my match."
