Adam Levine has personally offered to pay for former The Voice finalist Christina Grimmie’s funeral arrangements, according to her brother.

The Maroon 5 frontman mentored the 22-year-old on season six of the hit singing show in 2014, helping her reach the finals and finish in third place.

Following her tragic death in Orlando, Florida, after 27-year-old gunman Kevin James Loibl opened fire during a fan meet and greet, Adam was quick to pay his respects to the talented singer and has now reached out to her family to offer his support financially.

"I found out this morning that Adam Levine personally called my mother and said he will pay for the funeral and her plane flight, and I was blown away," Christina's brother, Marcus Grimmie, wrote on Facebook.

Adam was not the only one who offered help—Christina's manager, Brian Teefey, also reached out: "I first heard from Brian [that he will be] making a gofundme [campaign] to help our family move out of our current house and to take care of the funeral," said Marcus. "Now a friend just told me to look at the gofundme page and I see it is at 100k. Words cannot express... literally I have no words."

Here's Marcus' full Facebook post:

Christina was signing autographs after her concert at the Plaza Live Theater with rock band Before You Exit when Loibl, armed with two guns, walked up and shot her before shooting himself. Christina was rushed to the Orlando Regional Medical Center, where she was later pronounced dead.

Christina's GoFundMe.com page has reached over $130,000 in donations as of press time.
