The entertainment community is in mourning following news of Nipsey Hussle's death.

The 33-year-old rapper was shot six times outside his clothing store, the Marathon Clothing Company, in Los Angeles Sunday (March 31). He is survived by his two children and his girlfriend, Lauren London, with whom he had a child with in 2016.

Immediately following news of the California native's sudden passing, stars from across industries expressed their grief on social media. Aside from hip-hop, Nipsey, who was born and raised in Crenshaw, was best known for his community outreach. In addition to working to prevent gang violence, he recently helped launch Vector 90 — a Crenshaw district based STEM learning center and workspace dedicated to developing science and technology education in the area, TMZ reports.

From that day to letting you open up for me on tour & us going around the world together, creating a bond & watching your growth to today...... Murdered my friend in front of his own store on a Sunday at that !!! After just talking to you on the phone just last night about the Dr. Sebi documentary, family, the kids & how we were both bout to f&$k the summer up with this music, the world loses a true king.
