From Scott Disick and his girlfriend, Sofia Richie to the McGregor family including Conor's pregnant partner, Dee Devlin, many guests were quickly escorted from the fight to keep them safe and unharmed when pandemonium occurred. Dee was spotted looking visibly upset as she was ushered out of the venue, as did Conor who followed his security team off the grounds.
