Celebrities react to Russia-Ukraine conflict: 'My heart hurts'

Celebrities of Ukrainian and Russian descent are speaking out about the Russia-Ukraine crisis among signs that the Ukrainian capital was increasingly threatened early Friday.

Ukranian-born star Maks Chmerkovskiy, a choreographer known for showcasing his talents on "Dancing with the Stars," revealed on Thursday that he's currently in his native country and communicated his fear as he planned to head to a bomb shelter.

Chmerkovskiy shared a glimpse of the scene unfolding in the heart of Kyiv, where parents could be seen walking with their children with bags and suitcases, desperate to get out. The "Dancing with the Stars" pro wrote in his caption that he will "never be the same." He said it's bringing back "old feelings" from the 1990s when his family left the country.
