Actor Lorenzo Lamas shared his respect for Erika Kirk following the murder of her husband Charlie Kirk, noted podcaster and public speaker.
“I have so much respect for her,” he told Fox News. “It’s beyond anything that I’ve witnessed in my 67 years of being on this planet. The absolute grace and intelligence. Forgiveness, which all comes from that moral compass, from that faith, from that understanding that no matter what happens in our life, we can give it to God.”
The FALCON CREST actor continued, “The fact that Erika has been able to show such restraint and intelligence and grace in the taking of the man that she was going to spend the rest of her life with, the father of her kids. I mean, I just can’t imagine that kind of loss.”
“She’s an example of what truth and faith is encompassed in a human form,” he said. “And there’s no amount of sorrow, there’s no amount of forgiveness that I can muster to acknowledge the horrific event that took place. And she’s done more than I could ever imagine a human being able to do.”

Lamas had never met Charlie in person, but said his public debates were “absolutely captivating.”
The actor also remarked on how Charlie’s death has led many to reexamine and grow stronger in their faith.
“I really think that Charlie has brought faith back into so many people’s lives globally, and we saw that,” Lamas explained. “We saw the outpouring of support and prayer for him from all over the world. That’s the positive, I think, in this. The positive is that I think he may have reached more people than he could have ever imagined reaching in terms of faith, and perhaps even found people that weren’t faithful, maybe finding faith for the first time.”
Many other celebrities have shared their sorrow about Kirk’s death.
Country star Jason Aldean wrote in an Instagram post, “Charlie Kirk was one of the kindest, smartest and bravest people I’ve ever met. I’m honored to have met and spoke with him on a few occasions. He was a man of peace and wanted nothing but the best for our country and its youth. We might have lost Charlie today but what he has done will live on forever.”
During a recent podcast appearance, actress Jamie Lee Curtis said, “I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say. But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to his faith…I still believe he’s a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever ‘connection to God’ means, that he felt it.”
Charlie’s murder has caused many to reflect on their own faith and admire the grace with which Erika is navigating this time.
