LOS ANGELES -- The popular video game Fortnite is offering refunds for in-game items connected to the singer D4vd.

The company said beginning Tuesday, players who purchased any of the D4vd-related items will be eligible to get an immediate self-service refund. Players may also request refunds by contacting player support.



D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was charged with murder after 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in the trunk of his Tesla last September.

There are four items in Fortnite related to the singer, including the song "Locked & Loaded," which was the official anthem for the 2025 Fortnite Global Championship.



The song was released on September 3, 2025, five days before Celeste's body was found.

D4vd was known to be an avid Fortnite player and would often upload his songs to the visuals of his gameplay montages. "Locked & Loaded" was the last song officially released by D4vd prior to the discovery of Celeste.
