Derek Hough Breaks Down After Losing 2 People In A Month To Suicide

Derek Hough’s heart is in shambles.

The dance pro recently shared PSA about suicide in the wake of Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ own death.

The former “Ellen Show” DJ took his own life earlier this week at age 40. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

On Friday, Hough pleaded with his followers to seek help if they or someone they know is suffering from suicidal thoughts.

"I found out a man I knew died by suicide on Thanksgiving morning, and it was a complete shock because he was the most positive, just optimistic, beautiful man you could ever imagine, and it was jolting to say the least," Hough said at the start of the video. "But it was a harsh reminder of this time of year and of depression, of seasonal depression, and just circumstances and the time of year when people feel like it's too much."

Hough originally planned to make the PSA a week ago, but he didn’t.

tWitch’s death really struck a cord in the dancer and Hough decided to finally sit down and make the video.

"Now I'm learning about our friend Stephen and the fact that he went the exact same way as this man within a few weeks… it's just heartbreaking, confusing, shocking. There's so many different feelings and I'm trying to figure it out," the ‘DWTS’ alum added. "I just want to express and just to say for anybody out there who is feeling these thoughts and these feelings, please, please I beg you — I beg you, give people an opportunity to be there for you.”

Hough continued, "I know it feels like when you're in that dark hole that it will just not get better, and I'm telling you right now, I promise you it does. It does get better. So if you have those thoughts, if you have those feelings, just know that you're not alone. And when I say that you're not alone, I'm saying that people are feeling those feelings right now. They're having those thoughts, those anxieties right now and that you are not alone. We were not meant to do this alone… We're not meant to figure this all out by ourselves. We're meant to figure this out together."

He captioned the video with the phone number to the National Suicide and Prevention Lifeline.

Following the news of tWitch’s shocking death, Hough paid tribute to his friend.

“My heart is aching for @allisonholker and their beautiful family during this time. My mind is clinging to memories of the dear friend we have all lost. When I think of twitch I think of Wisdom, Love, Light and Laughter. He brought joy to everyone he encountered and was an inspiration to all. It’s gonna take some time to fully process this. May you rest in peace my friend. We love you 🙏🏼❤️,” he wrote on Instagram.

tWitch left behind a suicide note which hinted at past struggles.
