Deeply saddened by the current news. Paris became so lovely after all the struggles, revolutions and violence it went through in its history. Today terror attacks hit the city like never before... May God protect my friends, neighborhood and loved ones who continue to reside in Paris. May Parisians find comfort in these times and remain safe in or out of their homes. Mon cœur est à Paris et avec vous tous. #StateOfEmergency
