Celebrities Who Were Tragically Killed By Their Own Fans

Celebrity life may bring wealth and fame, but it also increases certain risks for famous people. While most fans of celebrities adore their chosen idols, there are occasionally fans who develop unhealthy obsessions. Most of these individuals are ultimately harmless, but sometimes an individual emerges with plans to commit violence against the object of their infatuation. Sadly, murderous fans are sometimes successful, and are able to take the life of someone who most people respect and admire. Fortunately, these events are rare, but there is a prominent list that's developed over the years. Here are the celebrities who were murdered by their own fans.

If they were real fans, they wouldn’t have killed these celebrities.

Forever heartbroken at the loss of Christina Grimme. In front of her own fans 😞

I feel like people forget Selena so I’m so glad that you mentioned her in this video!

Some people are really just… sick!
Rest Peacefully to everyone on this list.

Christina Grimmie's death made me cry for days. I idolized her and wanted to be just like her when I grew up. She was an angel. She didn't deserve to die. Rest in peace, Christina.

Gianni Versace, created something beautiful. He is incomparable. He was and forever will be a legend.

I love the fact that they stated Selena Quintanilla-Perez ❤️

I've read that Rebecca Schaeffer was up for the role of Mary Corleone, Michael's daughter, in "The Godfather: Part III" at the time of her death. She could have very well gotten the part had it not been for the psychopath that took her life.

Just because we love our favorite celebrities, doesn't mean we have the right to obsess over them or stalk them. And this is why I worried everytime I looked over my shoulder to see if anyone's behind me or not every time I go out. I never have Social media, but this is something we all should be aware of especially if you're famous.

That's how it happens to a lot of people everyday because of jealously and anger, incliuding John Lennon, Selena, Rebecca Schaeffer and more.

I can’t imagine what it was like to be there when Dimebag was killed. 4 ppl died that night. In such a small space. REST IN PEACE TO ALL ON THIS UNFORTUNATE LIST.

It's tragic that actors and actresses, musicians, and artists have been killed by a crazed fan, this is why most people in the entertainment industry are very wary of allowing people to get close to them,

[swampophelia]

I don’t understand why these people kill the person they are obsessed with

[taytoosharma]

Selena and Christina death were so shocking and heart breaking

[pinkypavlova]

Selenas beautiful smile could light up the darkest sky
Such a great loss

[franklinzappa]

I had the Pleasure of Seeing Selena in Concert 3x and I saw her at the Colorado State Fair 6 months before her murder, and I have to say out of more then 300+ shows, SHE was probably the 3rd best Show I've ever experienced. Better then Page Plant, Metallica, The Who, Journey, Ozzy Osborne, and many others. Just my Opinion. R.I.P SELENA😭

[lezlie]

this breaks my heart. just imagine how these families must feel. rest in peace to everyone in the list and everyone else who passed on.

You know, I'd really prefer that people who become so obsessed with a celebrity they become homicidally violent not be referred to as a 'Fan'. I don't associate murder with fandom. Fans prefer that the object of their fandom continue to do whatever it is they do, which inspires such admiration, love, and devotion. Typically speaking, when such a person is murdered, they no longer do that thing. I would call such a murderer the ultimate 'Anti-Fan'.

[KaylaPearlCPNinja]

I honestly wished that the psychotic “fan” who gunned down Christina Grimmie didn’t kill himself because I honestly really wanted justice to be served as Christina deserved to live, not to die.

RIP to all but so glad to see Dimebag Darrell included in this list! He was a true musician and loved what he did. He had a huge heart and didn’t deserve to die for following his dreams and living out his passion for bad ass live music!
