Nicki Minaj commented on the post with heart emojis and then took to her Twitter handle to show her support.

"We can be so insensitive. God bless Kanye & Pete. Being flippant about mental illness speaks more about you than them. Stop saying the word love & live it. Love is an action," she tweeted.

Sophia Bush was another one to come in support for Davidson.

"Point being. Pete Davidson has been very open about his mental health. And b/c a relationship didn't work out, tens of thousands of people he doesn't know are telling him to kill himself. Words have real consequences. And the people who bullied him into posting this? Shame," she wrote.

Jon Cryer took to his Twitter and informed that he heard Davidson was at SNL and accounted for.

"Am hearing Pete Davidson is at SNL and accounted for. We are thinking of you, Pete. You are loved. (And just a heads up, when you finally turn on your cell, it's gonna go apeshit for a little while)," he wrote.

Just a few weeks back, Davidson had penned another Instagram note about how he was bullied for months, reported E! Online.

The New York City Police is looking into Davidson's social media post.
