Family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez speaks out after D4vd charged with her alleged murder
The family thanked investigators and called for justice as prosecutors allege the singer killed the 14-year-old to protect his career.
- On Monday, the family of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez attended singer D4vd's arraignment in Los Angeles, where Attorney Patrick Steinfeld stated they are committed to ensuring justice for the teenager.
- Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman alleged D4vd killed the teen to "maintain his very lucrative musical career that Celeste was threatening" to expose, with charges including lewd and lascivious sexual acts.
- Investigators found the teen's dismembered remains on September 8, 2025, in the trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd at a Hollywood tow yard, after she was last seen alive on April 23, 2025.
- Defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter entered a not guilty plea on Monday, stating "actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste" and he remains held without bail.
- Parents Jesus Rivas and Mercedes Martinez previously remembered Celeste as a girl who "loved to sing and dance," and their public involvement now adds legal pressure on prosecutors throughout the high-profile criminal case.
