"In the midst of immense sadness since Friday morning, this made me smile and literally LOL and I really needed this. So much love for this @katie_gaudreau," a fan said.
Here are some more reactions from fans on X:
"This was the personal side of them both which makes it even sadder when thinking that both of their lives were cut way too short. So sad," one fan said.
"They'll never see their families again all because one moron made a stupid choice, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE, if you have to ask yourself "am I okay to drive?" The answer is probably no call a cab," another fan said.
"I can’t just too sad condolences to their family and friends🌹," a fan said.
