He shared a post on his social media accounts where acknowledged his privilege and also talked about the need for social change and to be anti-racist. After donating and supporting the BLM charity he also attended the BLM march with some of his friends.

I do things every day without fear, because I am privileged, and I am privileged every day because I am white. Being not racist is not enough, we must be anti racist. Social change is enacted when a society mobilizes. I stand in solidarity with all of those protesting. I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers. Look inwards, educate yourself and others. LISTEN, READ, SHARE, DONATE and VOTE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
