    Savannah Chrisley is “devastated” over Charlie Kirk’s death.

    The reality star addressed the 31-year-old’s assassination in a tearful TikTok video Wednesday, calling Kirk a “lifelong friend” who showed up in the “hardest” years of her life.

    “[He was] someone who gave me a voice as a woman, made me feel like I had the power to show up in this world,” the “Growing Up Chrisley” alum, 28, said in the emotional footage.

    I am numb. I can’t believe I’m even writing these words. Charlie Kirk changed my life…he brought me into the Turning Point family this past year, and I was supposed to be standing next to him at every college this October. Instead, I sit here with a broken heart, devastated beyond words. Charlie wasn’t just a leader or a voice for the youth…he was a believer in Christ. His faith anchored everything he did. And I know with certainty that while we’ve lost him here, he is now fighting for us all in heaven, standing boldly before the Lord, just as he did here on earth. He believed in me and in my family when the world turned its back. He saw potential, he spoke life into us, and he reminded me that God still had a plan even when I couldn’t see it myself. That kind of belief changes you forever. Take politics out of it…Charlie was a young man, a husband, and a father. He had so much life left to live. My heart aches for Erika and their children. No words will ever be enough to fill the space his love once held. Charlie…you changed America. You changed me. You changed my family. Rest easy, my friend. Heaven has gained a warrior ❤️

    Chrisley, who noted that she did not “have the words” as she was “still processing” Kirk’s passing, revealed she was “supposed to be sitting next to Charlie every weekend in October.”

    The “Chrisleys: Back to Reality” star was meant to join Kirk on his college speaking tour, which kicked off Wednesday at Utah Valley University — and came to a shocking end when he was fatally shot.

    The conservative commentator, notably, was debating an attendee about gun violence when he was killed.

    The Turning Point USA co-founder is survived by his wife, Erica Frantzve, and their two children — a 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.

    Chrisley, who felt “devastated beyond words,” sent her love to Kirk’s widow, telling the former pageant queen, “I love you. And I am with you.”

    The “Unlocked” podcast host shared more in her caption, gushing, “[Kirk] believed in me and in my family when the world turned its back. He saw potential, he spoke life into us, and he reminded me that God still had a plan even when I couldn’t see it myself. That kind of belief changes you forever.”

    Chrisley concluded that instead of journeying with Kirk on the “American Comeback Tour,” she was “sit[ting] here with a broken heart.”

    President Donald Trump announced Kirk’s death via Truth Social on Wednesday.

    “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” the commander-in-chief, 79, wrote. “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.”

    Chris Pratt, Candace Cameron Bure and more celebrities have since publicly mourned Kirk in social media tributes.

    “Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country,” the “Parks and Recreation” alum, 46, tweeted. “We need God’s grace. God help us.”

    Bure, for her part, took to Instagram to write, “We love you, Charlie. Well done, good and faithful servant.”
