Kardashian West tweeted this out to over 56 million followers: "Join the movement to end gun violence: Text ACT to 64433."
Along with her message, the reality star shared a photo which showed devastated concertgoers in the actual shooting scene that was originally posted by the nonprofit organization Everytown For Gun Safety. It was captioned: "It's not too early to talk about solutions to gun violence; it's too late."
She followed it up with another tweet that called for blood donations while sharing a photo that listed blood services and centers within the state of Nevada.
Meanwhile, Kardashian West has also previously retweeted messages from other personalities calling for immediate reforms in America's gun control policies.
Kardashian West has been an advocate of ending gun violence, especially after she was robbed and held at gun point inside her exclusive hotel room during the Paris Fashion Week last year.
In an earlier post on her website, the KKW Beauty mogul said: "In almost 20 years, our country has made very little progress in enacting laws that would help protect innocent Americans from people who should not have access to firearms. Right now, there are more guns owned by civilians in this country than in any other country in the world."
Meanwhile, local authorities are still refraining from calling the incident an act of terrorism, but the mass shooter Stephen Paddock – referred by the police as a "lone wolf" – killed at least 59 people and injured more than 500 civilians after firing hundreds of rounds of rifle.
A smoke detector alarm gave away Paddock's location in a room at the Mandalay Bay hotel's 32nd floor where the police officers discovered an arsenal of at least 23 weapons and two tripods. Apart from these, authorities also found 19 more guns in Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada.
The Las Vegas mass shooting goes down as the most fatal incident in modern US history.
