Griffin took to Instagram To thank Hilary and her husband Matthew Koma for setting up a GoFundMe for him and his wife and accommodating Mandy and Taylor’s family.

He later added: “All of this is very overwhelming. But what is no less amazing is the amount of love and generosity we receive. Dear friends @Matheokuma and @HilaryDuff I thought it would be wise to set up a gofundme for us to help move forward. Not to mention, they are currently inhabited by my brother’s family. They have taken care of my entire family from the moment this started. I will never be able to thank them enough. This is the kindest thing anyone can do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we have ever known.
