As Texas grapples with one of the deadliest floods in recent memory, a wave of celebrity voices is rising in solidarity.
Hollywood stars Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey, and Khloé Kardashian have broken their silence following the catastrophic Texas flood that swept through the state, killing dozens and displacing thousands.
With emotional tributes and urgent calls for support, each star has taken to social media to express their heartbreak and rally for help. Their responses have added a powerful spotlight to a growing crisis, amplifying the need for nationwide attention and aid.
Flood Ravages Through Central Texas, Claims Lives
Over the July 4 weekend, parts of Central Texas were hit by heavy storms that caused sudden and deadly flooding.
In Kerr County, nearly 15 inches of rain fell in just a few hours, making rivers rise dangerously fast. The Guadalupe River climbed more than 25 feet in less than an hour, catching many people off guard.
One of the hardest-hit places was Camp Mystic, a popular Christian summer camp for girls, where several children and a counselor went missing.
In total, at least 80 people have died across the region, and more than 40 are still unaccounted for.
Entire homes were swept away, roads were destroyed, and families were left stranded. Rescue teams using helicopters and boats have saved over 850 people so far.
The flood is now being called one of the worst natural disasters to hit Texas in recent years.
