Several families of the 10 people who died from injuries in a massive crowd surge at the Astroworld festival have turned down an offer by headliner Travis Scott to pay for their loved ones’ funeral costs.

Lawyers for the families of four of the victims said that they received a letter from Scott’s lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, in which the offer was made.
