Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of late One Direction singer Liam Payne, is speaking out about his death.

“Thank you for all the kind words and love sent my way,” she began in a message shared to her Instagram Story on Friday.

“I’m completely at my wits’ end,” she continued. “Nothing about the last few days has felt real. I ask and pray that you will give me the grace and space to navigate this privately.”

In the video, Cassidy describes meeting Payne while she was working at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina. After their first meeting, Payne and Cassidy had lunch together in Charleston, according to Cassidy. “He stayed in Charleston for three days after his original flight,” she said, adding at the end of the video, “Everything happens for a reason.”
