Sophia Bush attends White House Correspondents' Dinner

Sophia Bush attended the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C., just hours after learning that her ex-boyfriend Dan Fredinburg had died.

E! Online reported that Fredinburg died in a Mount Everest avalanche. The couple started dating back in 2013 and ended up splitting up February 2014. The two remained friends.

NBC reported that Fredinburg was a Google executive. He had been scaling Everest for the past three months as part of an expedition team.

Bush looked stunning in a draped emerald green ball gown but it was clear that she was still dealing with the tragic loss. Before arriving at the dinner, Bush took to Instagram to post about Fredinburg and how he will be missed.

"I was looking forward to our planned download of 'all the things' when he got home," Bush wrote on Instagram. "I am crushed that I will never hear that story."

There are no adequate words. Today I find myself attempting to pick up the pieces of my heart that have broken into such tiny shards, I'll likely never find them all. Today I, and so many of my loved ones, lost an incredible friend. Dan Fredinburg was one-of-a-kind. Fearless. Funny. A dancing robot who liked to ride dinosaurs and chase the sun and envision a better future for the world. His brain knew how to build it. His heart was constantly evolving to push himself to make it so. He was one of my favorite human beings on Earth. He was one of the great loves of my life. He was one of my truest friends. He was an incredible brother, a brilliant engineer, and a damn good man. I'm devastated and simultaneously so deeply grateful to have known and loved him, and to have counted him as one of my tribe. I was so looking forward to our planned download of "all the things" when he got home. I am crushed that I will never hear that story. I am crushed knowing that there are over 1,000 people in Nepal suffering this exact feeling, knowing that they too will never hear another tale about an adventure lived from someone that they love. Disasters like this are often unquantifiable, the enormity is too much to understand. Please remember that each person who is now gone was someone's Dan. Please remember that our time on this Earth is not guaranteed. Please tell those you love that you do. Right now. This very minute. And please send a kiss to the sky for my friend Dan. His energy is so big and so bright, and it's all around us, so put some love toward him today. And then hug your loved ones again. #goodbyesweetfriend #savetheice #Nepal
