On Sunday night, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, targeting the Route 91 Harvest music festival across the street. He killed over 50 people and injured over 500, and tributes have been pouring in for the victims from around the world.

During the opening of Monday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, host Tom Bergeron made sure to take a moment to honor the victims before the show began.

"There's an old saying that the show must go on," Bergeron began. "And it will."

"But first, all of us at Dancing With the Stars want to send our love, thoughts and prayers to everyone touched by the senseless violence in Las Vegas," he continued. "Please know that we are doing tonight's show with you foremost in our minds and hearts."

There was also no elimination on the show this week, with each contestant indulging in their guilty pleasures for a dance. The cast of the show also shared a photo tribute to honor the victims, posing together with their hands in the shape of a heart.
