As central Texas faces ongoing devastation due to flash flooding, celebrities are using their voices to spread awareness and inspire support.

While Shakira donated concert proceeds taken from her Saturday, July 5, show to the Catholic Charities of San Antonio for subsequent disaster relief, Jennifer Garner, Khloé Kardashian, Matthew McConaughey and other stars took to social media to encourage similar assistance.

With Kerr County declared a state of emergency by President Donald Trump on Sunday, July 6, the floods began in the early hours of Friday, July 4, when waters swept through Texas Hill County to push the Guadalupe River up by 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

As of the late hours of Sunday, more than 82 people died as a result of the extreme weather event including at least 28 children in Kerr County alone, where a Christian summer camp resulted in a string of youth fatalities.

Among the loss of life within Camp Mystic was a nine-year-old cousin within Kansas City Chiefs owners’ Clark Hunt’s family. Clark’s wife, Tavia Hunt, reacted to the heartbreaking news via an Instagram Story shared on Sunday evening.
