But in the movie they actually say that everything in the Hosnian system is destroyed. But they didn't blow up. Also, they watch the destruction from the Resistance base on D'Qar as well, which is also not in the Hosnian system. The novelization of the book makes it more clear that everything in the Hosnian system was destroyed and gives a line of dialogue to someone (Finn, I think) where they ask if it's that far away, how can they see it since it should take years for the light to reach them and they are told that the beam fired through Hyperspace, which is why it could reach the Hosnian system in so little time, even though Starkiller Base was across the galaxy. As a side effect, everyone could see the beam everywhere. JJ just used artistic licence to show a close up of the Hosnian system being destroyed even though no one was there to give the audience a sense of the destruction.
