It comes after Ruby revealed her touching tribute to George Floyd, after he died in police custody on May 25.

Ruby revealed on Instagram last Thursday that she had stood in her backyard in Los Angeles with a torch for eight minutes and 46 seconds – the amount of time it took for Floyd to die while a police officer knelt on his neck.

‘Tonight I took to my backyard and put my torch to the sky for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to honor George Floyd,’ she wrote, sharing a photo of her torchlight shining up into the sky.

‘I started crying minutes in because the realisation of how long 8 minutes and 46 seconds truly is once again broke my heart.

‘And as I stood praying to God for his peace and justice I was reminded again of the changes that need to happen and just how horrific that crime was and just how scared he must have been and just how broken the system is…’

But Ruby added she was left with ‘hope’ after noticing her surrounding neighbours all doing the same thing.

 ‘I looked to my left and saw my neighbours doing the same, to the right – the same and across the way I saw every house in view with lights shining up to God for George and everyone else who has been killed over the colour of their skin,’ she continued.

‘Suddenly I felt overcome with emotion once again but this time it was because I could see hope and empathy and acknowledgement and the desire and want for change. The desperate longing for unity.’

Floyd’s death at the hands of a white police officer has prompted protests across the United States.

All four police officers involved in the incident have since been arrested, with Derek Chauvin, the officer directly responsible for Floyd’s death, charged with second-degree murder.
