Amidst the mourning, following last weekend’s attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Australia’s Bondi Beach, the community banded together to pay tribute to the fallen.

On Friday, hundreds gathered at Bondi for an honorary paddle-out – commemorating the 15 killed during the shooting, the dozens injured, the families grieving, and the heroic surf lifesavers who jumped into action during the chaotic, hateful incident last Sunday.

Our hearts go out to the people of Sydney, Australia, and those affected by this horrific incident. Below, take a look at photos from the gathering.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - DECEMBER 19: Hundreds participate in a paddle-out and swim during sunrise at Bondi Beach to honor the victims of the Bondi Beach mass shooting from December 14, on December 19, 2025 in Sydney, Australia. Life slowly returned to normal at Bondi Beach, with people from all walks of life still paying respects and tributes as funerals for the victims continued across the city. Police say at least 16 people, including one suspected gunman, were killed and more than 40 others injured when two attackers opened fire near a Hanukkah celebration at the world-famous Bondi Beach, in what authorities have declared a terrorist incident. The government is moving to tighten gun laws across the country. (Photo by Audrey Richardson/Getty Images)
