In super sad news, Louis Tomlinson has spoken out publicly for the first time since his younger sister Felicite suddenly passed away.

In a brief but heartbeaking Tweet the singer expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of love he has received since the tragic incident.

Our thoughts and love are with Louis and his family.
