SELF-PROCLAIMED King of Instagram Dan Bilzerian returned to the scene of the Las Vegas slaughter with a gun after being slammed for running away.
The millionaire playboy shared a video saying he was “heading back” to the bloodbath after seeing a girl get “shot in the face right next to me”.
He has earlier been labelled “disgusting” by a war hero for fleeing the shooting at the Route 91 Festival, which left 59 dead and more than 500 others wounded.
But Bilzerian insisted he had just sprinted off to arm himself, saying: "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. F***ing guy had a heavy caliber weapon for sure."
He added: "Saw a girl got f***ing shot in the face right next to me, her brains hanging out. Stupid a** me didn't bring a gun."
The social media star, who has 21 million followers, later uploaded two more videos saying he was heading home because there’s “not much I can do”.
He added: “Headed home for all you people texting and calling, pretty f***ed up night.”
Dozens of his fans praised the professional poker player, who regularly flaunts his luxury lifestyle with snaps of guns, girls and expensive cars, for returning to help.
Angel tweeted: “Dan Bilzerian got all my respect for getting his s*** and going back to the strip to help civilians.”
Another wrote: “Dan Bilzerian is a legend... he saw a girl get shot in the face then runs and grabs his ar and goes back to get people out.”
Dakota Meyer, the husband of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, had earlier slammed Bilzerian for fleeing the scene.
The decorated veteran, who served in Afghanistan as part of the US Marine Corps, wrote on Instagram: "This is why children shouldn't classify heroes by their followers or their photos.
"@danbilzerian this is what kills me about people like you. Always playing 'operator dress up' and so so tough when the cameras are on.
"A woman just got shot in the head and you are running away filming that's not what operators do. Please stop trying to be someone your not.
"People are dying, you're running away not helping them and pretending it's worthy of a video is disgusting."
Bilzerian had filmed himself fleeing the scene near the Mandalay Bay resort and casino as rapid gunfire rang out in the background.
The 36-year-old only had enough time to say "holy f*** this girl just got shot in the f***ing head".
He then added "so f***ing crazy" before the story cut out.
Shooter Stephen Paddock unloaded hundreds of rounds of ammo on the Route 91 Harvest country music festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort.
Cops later confirmed he appeared to have shot himself before cops could reach him and said they don't believe there are any other suspects.
Country singer Jason Aldean was performing on stage at the 22,000-strong concert when gunfire rang out.
Videos at the scene captured bursts of gunfire heard in the area, with crowds running in fear.
