Chip Gaines had a heavy heart on Sunday night following the news of the mass shooting at a Sutherland Springs, Texas, church that left 27 dead — including the shooter — and another estimated 20 wounded.

Gaines, who lives in Waco, Texas, about three hours from Sutherland Springs, tweeted his condolences to the victims and the families late Sunday night.

"Our heart breaks for our neighbors down in Sutherland Springs. Please #prayForTexas," he wrote.

Other celebrities also paid tribute to the victims.
