Daily Mail​20 hours ago
Matthew McConaughey broke his silence on the devastating floods that killed dozens in Texas as he issued a plea to his fans to 'lend a helping hand.'
The Oscar winner, 55 — who was born in Uvalde, Texas — took to X on Sunday, writing, 'At least 70 lives have been lost, many more are unaccounted for, and countless Texans are hurting - inside and out.'
'If you're able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can,' the Interstellar actor continued.
'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.'
McConaughey added that 'Texans are some of the most resilient and generous people on the planet.'
The actor was one of a number of stars speaking out in the wake of floods in central Texas that killed at least 79 and left 41 missing.
Colombian pop superstar Shakira, 48, announced on Saturday that she would be donating proceeds from her San Antonio concert to Catholic Charities of San Antonio.
The Grammy-winning singer wrote on X: 'Dear San Antonio, Our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in Central Texas. We are donating a portion of tonight's show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are providing disaster relief to the families impacted.'
'If you would like to join me in donating, please click on the link below. Your help is important and appreciated,' she added.

Cheyanne Kerr raised her hand to her mouth in surprise as the Love Island theme played, and she wrote: "POV: Your cousin just walked into the villa." One follower commented: "so excited for him. he's the best boy on there." Another agreed, saying: "Best one out them all." When a fan asked Cheyanne who she thought Ty would go for, she replied: "I haven't been watching it so I haven't a clue who people are but from what I've seen I think Shakira maybe???" She told another: "He likes a brunette tbh." Ahead of the series, Ty confirmed his type, saying: "I go off energy, if we vibe. I've typically dated brunettes, tanned, nice teeth with a nice smile." He added: "I've got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a Northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think. "Emily seems like a really sweet girl, someone you could take home to your parents. Helena is really good looking but she needs taming! I reckon I'm the man for the job." Barnsley bombshell Cheyanne had been single for six months when she entered the villa. Love Island fans left feeling 'sick' after last night's snogging challenge She said at the time: "I am not wanting to upset anyone or hurt anyone's feelings purposely but I am going in there for a reason and they're going in for a reason as well." The blonde stunner hit it off with rugby league lad Jacques O'Neill in Casa Amor but ultimately left the show when he decided to stick with Paige Thorne. 5 Shakira is Ty's type on paper Credit: Eroteme 5 Cheyanne Kerr is new boy Ty's cousin Credit: TikTok
