A lawyer in Texas says he now represents 150 people in a lawsuit following the events at Astroworld that left nine people dead.

Thomas J Henry filed the first lawsuit following the tragic events that left at least nine people dead and hundreds of others injured.

“I represent now about 150 people,” Mr Henry told Jake Tapper on CNN.

It comes as Travis Scott is reportedly “distraught” following the tragedy at Astroworld and is asking victims’ family to reach out for help.

In the most recent statement from the American rapper, it was said he hopes to provide aid to “each and every” family affected by the disaster.

A spokesperson for Mr Scott said: “To those families who would like to reach out directly to his team, please send an email to the below address where we will have a team on hand to assist. AW21information@gmail.com.”
