TMZ is under fire following its live coverage of Charlie Kirk’s death , where staff members were caught laughing moments before the news broke. The incident has sparked intense criticism across social media and led to an official apology from the outlet.

TMZ addressed the controversy later that day, acknowledging that the timing of the laughter was deeply unfortunate. The outlet said the joking had been about an unrelated matter but admitted the optics were damaging.
