Scott's representatives said in a statement
that families who would like assistance in any way should
contact his team through a dedicated email address.
Nine people died on or after the concert on Friday where Scott
was headlining. Dozens more were injured in a crush of fans near
the front of the venue.
Scott had already offered to pay for the funeral costs of those
killed and for free mental health counseling.
His representatives said on Thursday that Scott and his team
"have been actively exploring routes of connection with each and
every family affected by the tragedy through the appropriate
liaisons.
"He is distraught by the situation and desperately wishes to
share his condolences and provide aid to them as soon as
possible, but wants to remain respectful of each family’s wishes
on how they’d best like to be connected."
