On Wednesday night, the TV host took a moment to share some words with fans about the attack on Westminster.
“There was a terror attack today in my hometown, the city of London in Westminster,” Corden started. “While we’re filming this, it’s still unknown what the motives were. What we do know at this point is that people have lost their lives and many, many more have been injured.”
“I know a lot of people in England watch this show, as there’s a lot of people from Britain who work on this show, and of course, our thoughts go out to everyone who’s been affected by this,” he said. “Watching the news today, I felt a really long, long way from home. And it’s funny when something like that happens in your hometown, you don’t have a feeling of being glad that you’re so far away. What you feel is that you wish you could be there with loved ones to stand alongside them.”

“London is a diverse and proud and brilliant city, and one thing is for sure: if this act of terrorism was supposed to divide the people of London, I know for a fact that all something like this does is bring them closer together as one. Tonight we send our heartfelt thoughts to everybody in Britain. Stay safe everybody, please,” he finished.
Five people were killed and another 40 injured after a car and knife attack outside of Parliament. The attacker drove a vehicle through a crowd of pedestrians before crashing into a gate. The attacker then got out of the car and fatally stabbed a police officer.
Scotland Yard is calling the incident an act of terrorism.
