Kesha is the latest star to remember The Voice's Christina Grimmie following her tragic passing last night.

The "True Colors" singer took to Instagram to pay tribute to the 22-year-old and voice her concerns over gun control in America.

"I'm shocked and horrified. And angry. How many times are we as a nation going to read a horrific story like this, where someone uses a gun to kill an innocent person, and DO NOTHING. I demand gun control," Kesha wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of her with Grimmie.

Christina's brother Mark, posted a touching message on his Facebook earlier today, saying, "Christina was more than my sister. She was a partner in life. A superstar. A goofball. Introverted. And a friend to everyone. Genuinely. But above all...she was my baby sister. She loved the Lord and her family and was always there for me and I honestly don't know what I'll do without her."
