Texas flooding live updates: At least 91 killed, including 27 girls and counselors from Camp Mystic

Texas-born celebrities Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Hilary Duff posted messages of support on Instagram for the victims of the deadly flash floods.

“Heartbroken doesn’t begin to cover it. Consumed. Obsessed. Praying for even a shred of a miracle — to find a child alive in the wake of this boundless disaster,” Duff, a Houston native, wrote in a statement on Instagram. “Tears fall every time I imagine one of these families receiving bad news… waiting… or entire families lost. Just gone. It’s too much to comprehend.”

“I was — and forever will be — that girl with a wild hearted, fierce love for my barefoot summers at camp in the Texas Hill country,” she continued. “It imprints on your soul. It changes your identity. It’s a realm of true magic. You could never imagine an ending this tragic.”

McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, Texas, also shared a statement posted on Instagram.

“At least 70 lives have been lost, many more are unaccounted for, and countless Texans are hurting — inside and out,” McConaughey’s statement read. “If you’re able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can. It’s gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain, and the chaos need the steady hand of a neighbor.”

Garner, who was born in Houston, posted a four-word message to an Instagram story: “Texas. God, be near.”
