Members of One Direction have come out posting their devastation surrounding their band member Liam Payne’s death.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik have all expressed their sadness and disbelief over Liam’s death earlier this week.
TMZ reported Liam fell from a third-story balcony at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Costa Rica. The publication said that several witnesses saw Liam fall from the balcony just after 5pm on Wednesday evening, local time.
At the time of publishing, Niall Horan was yet to post about Liam’s death.
What did One Direction say about Liam’s death?
Harry posted a photo of Liam to Instagram, and said he is “truly devastated” by Liam’s passing.
“His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it,” he wrote.
“My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who loved him, as I did.”
Zayn posted on his socials to express his condolences.
“I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life,” he said.
“There is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated.”
Louis also paid his respects on the social media platform, saying he is “beyond devastated” about losing a “brother”.
“I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well X.”
The One Direction Instagram account also posted a tribute to the late Liam.
“We are completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say.”
The post was signed off by Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry.
Liam shared a son named Bear with UK singer Cheryl Cole, who was born in 2017.
