Family of Ezra Blount, 9, who was trampled at Astroworld are praying for miracle after being told he may NOT survive

"I just think there should be some accountability, cause for my grandson to end up the way he did, something terrible happened.

"He's a small, innocent child, he didn't deserve that. He didn't deserve it at all," Ezra's grandfather said.

"He's just coming into town to see one of his favorite artists, and to be trampled like that, and really left in the hospital with no one knowing where he was, that's heartbreaking," he continued.

"As the citizens of Houston, we don't deserve it, and my grandson certainly didn't deserve it."

FAMILY FILES LAWSUIT

On Tuesday, Ezra's family filed a negligence lawsuit against concert promoter Live Nation and Travis Scott, blaming them for the boy's catastrophic injuries.

According to the suit, filed by famed civil rights attorney Ben Crump, Ezra was "suddenly forced to watch in terror as several concertgoers were injured and killed" during the crowd surge.

As first reported by TMZ, Crump says Ezra was "kicked, stepped on, and trampled" as people around him were lifting up "unconscious bodies of friends and strangers and surfed them over the top of the crowd, hoping to send them to safety."

The suit blames Scott, Live Nation and a list of other entities for Ezra's injuries, accusing them of "egregiously [failing] in their duty to protect the health, safety and lives" of concertgoers.

Specifically, the attorney wrote that event organizers didn't have enough security to properly control the crowd or provide medical support.

The suit is seeking undisclosed general and exemplary damages for Ezra and his father.

Crump told The Sun on Monday: "The suffering that this family is going through is immeasurable.

"This little boy had his whole life ahead of him – a life that is currently hanging in the balance because of the reckless mismanagement that ensued at the Astroworld Festival.

"We ask everyone to send up the most powerful prayers they can as this family tries to grapple with the undoable damage that has been done to their son."

ILL-FATED EVENT

Astroworld is an annual event held by Scott in his hometown of Houston.

On Friday, the first day of the third annual show, the crowd surged towards the stage while Scott was performing, resulting in a large panic.

The disaster unfolded around 9:15pm local time when the crowd rushed towards the stage and people “began to fall out, become unconscious and it created additional panic,” Houston Police Chief Lt. Larry Satterwhite said on Saturday.

Satterwhite, who had been working near the stage, said medics onsite were so overwhelmed they had to ask people in the crowd to administer CPR to other attendees in peril.

Videos captured from the scene showed a cameraman ignoring attendees who were begging him to stop the show because people were dying; multiple others showed fans dancing atop ambulances as they attempted to reach unconscious people in the crowd.

In total eight people died. They were all aged between 14 and 27.

At least 23 of the hundreds injured were hospitalized, five of whom were under 18. Eleven of those taken to hospital suffered cardiac arrest, officials said.

Scott broke his silence over the tragedy on Saturday afternoon, saying he was  “absolutely devastated" by what had transpired the night previous.

"My fans really mean the world to me and I always wanna leave them with a positive experience and anytime I can make out anything that’s going on, I stop the show and help them get the help they need, you know?" he said.

The rapper, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, added that he is working with the proper authorities and is asking fans from the event to do the same.

"If you have any information, please just contact your local authorities. Everyone continue to just keep your prayers."

Scott canceled a planned appearance at the Las Vegas festival Day N Vegas this weekend.

He has also offered to pay for the funerals of all of the victims and will be partnering with online therapy provider BetterHelp to supply one month of free one-on-one therapy for festival attendees.

"Travis remains in active conversations with the city of Houston, law enforcement and local first responders to respectfully and appropriately connect with the individuals and families of those involved," Scott's spokesperson said in a statement.

"These are the first of many steps Travis plans on taking as a part of his personal vow to assist those affected throughout their grieving and recovery process.
