Your intent can be reach, but the image given off, by desire that people sympathize with you, is different.
Not everyone adheres to such thinking...
9/11, Paris, Brussels, London - Did they want sympathy?
As for reach, what you are looking for is celebrities literally advocating, for example, for gun laws to be stricter citing this event, not simply sympathizing to morally clear themselves: People get their news from news, not from following celebrities on twitter, they follow them for lifestyle so ideas of celebrities can influence their followers bias.
Celebrities have a large follow...They have a certain influence.
Eg.

Hopefully it will make Americans question theirs!
Terrorism is defined as the use of violence for political, and/or religious, gain. Now compare the number of attacks done in the name of religion, and those done in the name of a race in the 20th and 21st century.
There is already a comparison...You can find it on some websites
There is plenty for political gains...
Good, but context is necessary: why is the trend that of downward? Is it due to military crack downs on large scale, such as that in Syria and Iraq? Is it due to fear of war, poverty and destruction? Is it due to forceful restraints undertaken by the international community such as cracking down on their financial lines?
To some extent maybe.
Mostly prob due to the fact the Caliphate did no good so far!
The point I am making is that you can tell a person to do something for you at gunpoint, but in his heart, hid desire and intent is different. Unless we analyse the social factors apart from military ones, we might be sending this terrorism only into its dormant stage for now.
We are neither analysts nor influential people...the only thing we can do is pour out ideas....
Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe Speak Out on New Zealand Shooting
Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe, and Sam Neill are speaking up about the horrifying mass shootings
in Christchurch, New Zealand. On Friday, at least 49 people were killed, and 20 were seriously injured, when terrorists opened fire on two mosques in the area. According to CNN, “three people were arrested in connection with the shootings”; one man has been charged with murder.
On Friday, Waititi—a native New Zealander who grew up on the East Coast and in Wellington—released a statement about the tragedy on Twitter, writing that his “heart is broken.”
“My country is weeping and so am I,” he wrote. “I am dying knowing that this kind of hatred can happen in my homeland. All my love goes out to Christchurch, the victims, the families, the Muslim community, and all who have chosen our islands as their home. This is not us.”

The director is known for films like
Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a comedy that
broke box-office records in New Zealand, and the Marvel hit
Thor: Ragnarok. He’s also set to direct upcoming episodes of the
Star Wars series
The Mandalorian. He continued on Twitter, weighing in on the fact that N.Z. police are warning citizens to avoid mosques.
“Do not allow those criminals the satisfaction,” Waititi wrote. “Go to Mosque, Church, Synagogue, Marae, Maunga. Sink into community and love. In the words of Bob, ‘The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness.’
One Love.”

“Kia kaha” is a Māori phrase that means “be strong.“
Sam Neill, a New Zealander who lives in Queenstown, also penned a similar sentiment on Twitter, calling the attacks “beyond grotesque horrific white supremacist terrorist crime.”
“With love and heartbreak to the Muslim community of Aotearoa, we are with you,” he wrote. “You are us. We are all NewZealanders. #TheyAreUs Kia kaha. We weep together.”
