Matthew McConaughey breaks silence on 'shock' and 'pain' of deadly Texas floods
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.

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???"
