Warning: The video contains language that may be upsetting for some.

Instagram star and professional poker player Dan Bilzerian was caught up in the shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

In two Instagram stories filmed while fleeing the scene, the gun fanatic described scenes of chaos and alleged that he saw someone get shot next to him.

The shooting took place at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival at the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel. Police confirmed that more than 20 people died in the incident on Sunday night, while over 100 were injured. 

Bilzerian's Instagram story was reposted by World Star Hip Hop's Twitter account:

"F***, this girl just got shot in the f***ing head," Bilzerian told his 23 million followers in the first post, which was uploaded around 10 p.m. local time (PDT). "So f***ing crazy."

"So I had to go grab a gun. I'm f***ing headed back. It's f***ing so crazy - some kind of mass shooting," he said in the second video, which was broadcast about an hour later. "F***ing guy had a heavy calibre or whatever."

"Saw a girl got f***ing shot in the face right next to me," he said, before the clip cut out.
