After country singer Granger Smith's announcement of his youngest son's death, celebrities and fellow country artists have taken to social media to express their condolences to Smith and his family.

On Thursday, Smith, who was set to perform at this year's CMA Music Festival in Nashville, announced on social media platforms that his son, River Kelly Smith, 3, died due to a "tragic accident."

The boy drowned at the family's home, according to Jay Jones of BBR Music Group, which represents Smith.

He is asking fans to, instead of gifts, send donations to Dell Children's Medical Center in Texas in his son's honor.

"Amber and I made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second change at life," Smith wrote in a statement Thursday.

Since then, Nashville radio hosts Bobby Bones and Cody Alan and other public figures such as country singers Brandy Clark and Randy Houser have conveyed their support for Smith.
