Both of them are reportedly unharmed.[4]

For anyone that doesn't know Darragh has been training me for the last 6 years and although I'd like to think I tried my best everyday, not many would have thought I could have gotten to this point then, but he did. Thank you for everything, and above everything else for trying your best to understand me and how I think and for being my friend. It's an honor to learn from you everyday and be a part your journey too."". Instagram. Retrieved 2022-07-26.
