The parents of singer D4vd have spoken publicly for the first time following his arrest in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas, expressing support for their son and rejecting the allegations against him. The artist, whose real name is David Burke, has been under scrutiny for several months after the body of Rivas was found in his Tesla last year. He was arrested recently, though no formal charges have been filed. ,In a statement issued through their lawyer, Kent A Schaffer, the family said: "The parents... are sad and disappointed that David was arrested. However, they fully stand behind him and believe that he is innocent." ,Lawyers representing the singer have also strongly denied any wrongdoing. "Let us be clear: the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death," his attorneys said. ,They added that "there has been no indictment returned by any grand jury... and no criminal complaint filed," noting that he is currently being held under suspicion rather than facing formal charges. ,Authorities in Los Angeles are expected to decide soon whether to proceed with charges. Local media reports suggest the Los Angeles County District Attorney could make a determination as early as Monday. ,The arrest took place at a property in the Hollywood Hills, which reports say was previously owned by Sandra Bullock. According to media accounts, the home was found in a state of disarray, though it is unclear how long the singer had been staying there. ,Neighbours cited in reports said they were unaware he was living at the address. Separately, a skywriting message seen during the Coachella music festival reading "Celeste is a liar" was initially linked to the case. However, this has since been dismissed. Reports indicate the message had no connection to the investigation and may have been part of a promotional campaign for a separate project. ,With prosecutors reviewing the case, officials have not ruled out the possibility that no charges will be filed, depending on the outcome of the investigation. ,The case remains ongoing.
