"I want you guys to stay sweet, gentle, amazing and beautiful. Because even though the world may think that it's a shitty place to live in, it is beautiful. You guys are the force. And the force is going to be with you, forever."

The actor asked the fans to hug each other as a gesture to spread love and solidarity.
