Famous landmarks around the world were lit in the blue, white and red colors of the French flag to show solidarity with the French capital after at least 127 people were killed in multiple terrorist attacks there Friday night.

The 408-foot spire of One World Trade Center, built at the site of 9/11 terror attacks in New York City, was illuminated on Friday night.

"It is a very painful night. And our hearts and our prayers are with the people of Paris," said New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. "And you know, we know all about this feeling because of what we experienced on 9/11."

Meanwhile, another New York landmark went dark in a show of sympathy: The Empire State Building dimmed its lights at 10 p.m. ET.

In Brazil, Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue was lit blue, white and red:

The famous arch of London's Wembley Stadium's was also glowing:
