**Rihanna, Beyoncé** and **Oprah** have added their voices to the hundreds of thousands of people condemning racism and police brutality following the death of African American man **George Floyd.** 

A video of the 46-year-old has emerged showing him lying on the ground, handcuffed, with a white police officer's knee on his neck. Some of his last words were "I can't breathe."

"Watching my people get murdered and lynched day after day pushed me to a heavy place in my heart," **Rihanna** writes in a social media post.

"I can't shake this. I can't get over an ambulance pulling up to an arrest, a paramedic checking a pulse without removing the very thing that's hindering it! Is this f\*\*\*ing normal???" she asks, outraged by the injustice of it all.

**Oprah** has also shared her thoughts: "While pouring coffee, lacing my shoes, and taking a breath, I think: He doesn't get to do this."

"We speak your name. But this time we will not let your name be just a hashtag," **Ms Winfrey** adds.

"Your spirit is lifted by the cries of all of us who call for justice in your name!"

Meanwhile, **Beyoncé** has posted links to a number of [petitions on her website](https://www.beyonce.com/to-seek-justice-for-george-floyd/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) calling for change and justice for **George Floyd** and all African Americans killed due to racism and police brutality.
