Jillian Michaels describes Charlie Kirk's powerful impact on her teenage son

Jillian Michaels told Fox News Digital that her son, Phoenix, was a fan of Charlie Kirk and went to great lengths to meet him in-person at a Turning Point USA event.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, celebrities on both sides of the aisle are calling for change.

Kirk, who was killed Wednesday during a speaking engagement in Orem, Utah, was a well-known conservative activist. Despite the often heated political climate in Hollywood, it seems one thing many can agree on is that there's no justification for this type of violence.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former Republican governor of California who in recent years has been critical of the party, took to social media after the shooting to urge people to come together after the tragedy.

"My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States," he wrote on X. "Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can’t agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don’t solve our debates with violence.

"This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity."

Actor Josh Duhamel took a similar stance. He posted a photo of Kirk with his wife and two children on Instagram with the caption, "RIP Charlie Kirk. Please remember, no matter what your political beliefs, that this man had a wife and 2 beautiful children who no longer have him. Please pray for this madness to stop."

Jillian Michaels, who told Fox News Digital that she's personally "more centrist," shared on X following the shooting that even though she and Kirk "did not see eye to eye on certain topics," he still welcomed her to events and onto his podcast.

"The hatred that has seeped into our culture must stop," she wrote. "If we give in to this anger, if we allow hate to breed hate, we lose not only lives but our very humanity. We have got to reject this darkness — in our media, in our politics, and within ourselves. 

"Let's take the pain of this loss as a solemn call to ensure it never happens again. All of our leaders on both sides of the aisle, of all colors, all genders, and all orientations need to set a better example. Come together. Choose empathy, understanding, and unity — in honor of Charlie, for the sake of our culture, and the well-being of generations to come. Rest in peace, Charlie."
