TikToker Axel Webber has posted an update after a video of him on top of a skyscraper in New York City went viral, worrying fans. 

Axel Webber has taken TikTok by storm since he began uploading videos to the short-form video app. He initially gained popularity for showing off his extremely tiny New York City apartment.

Since then his fans have raged at Juilliard, Axel’s Tinder account was banned and the creator was even a guest on David Dobriks podcast.

On April 27 he posted a series of videos showing his process of climbing a skyscraper in Times Square, ending the series with videos of him standing on the edge of the roof.

These worried fans about his safety, so Axel posted an update video showing he was safely back at home.

It’s important to note that scaling a building of that size while it’s under construction is extremely dangerous.

Axel made it home safe, but he very likely could have injured himself in the process.
