After the news broke, Supernatural fans took to Twitter, where some expressed concern for Padalecki.

"I love you so so so so so much and I just pray your okay. Please please be okay," one person tweeted.

@jarpad is human like anyone else. We have all gotten drunk and done stupid things. None of us know what actually happened, but we do know that this is very out of character for him. Let’s just keep everyone involved in our thoughts. We love ya, Jared.

"This Jared Padalecki news is upsetting to hear," another wrote.

"I'm lowkey a little disappointed after hearing about [Padalecki] but we don't know the full story and I still love him with all my heart. He was obviously really drunk which I know isn't an excuse but it makes people lose control. Idk how to feel but I just hope he's ok," another wrote.

@jarpad pls know that I'm right behind you, no matter what! But I'm also worried how you got there! very worried, I missed your real smile in Toronto! Pls stay strong, you came so far, pls don't destroy it. No matter why. There's ALWAYS reason to carry on. I love you, Jared.

"I hope Jared can get the help he needs, clearly he isn't okay and needs help," another fan wrote.

Padalecki stars as Sam Winchester on The CW's Supernatural, which is now in its 15th and final season. After the show ends, he will star in a reboot of Chuck Norris' Walker, Texas Ranger. In the new series, he will play a new version of the title character. The project earned interest from several networks, but ended up on The CW and will likely air next season if picked up.

Supernatural airs on The CW Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
