Youtuber Jeffree Star donated $20,000 to the funeral of a fan who was found dead after going on a Grindr date.
Fan Kevin Bacon, 25, was found dead on Saturday in Bennington Township, Michigan, U.S.
He is said to have told friends he was going on a date arranged on the gay dating app Grindr shortly before his death.
Mark Launski, 50, has been charged with his murder.
Beauty blogger Jeffree Star was notified of Mr Bacon's death after it emerged that the deceased had a tattoo of him.
He tweeted: "RIP KEVIN. I’m devastated to hear of the passing of someone from Michigan who lived their life fearlessly and was taken too soon. Please help his family in this horrible time."
He then donated $20,000 to a gofundme page set up to pay for Mr Bacon's funeral
Kevin Bacon, the actor, also paid tribute to the deceased.
"For obvious reasons I'm thinking this morning about the friends and Family of this young person Kevin Bacon.
"His life was taken from him much too soon. His love was hair dressing. I bet he would have done a great job on this mess on my head. RIP KB.'
However, it transpired that the deceased was not named after the actor.
His father Karl Bacon explained the reason behind his son's name at a press conference.
“I wanted the same initials, but I didn’t want Karl Jr. so that made sense" he said.
“The other Kevin Bacon wasn’t quite as famous as he is now.”
