    Miranda Lambert has pledged to help the "pet community" in Texas following a devastating flood

    The 41-year-old singer has been left distraught by the tragedy in her home state - which saw the banks of the Guadalupe River in Kerr County to burst following heavy rainfall - and revealed her own non-profit organisation, MuttNation Foundation, is "working really closely" in the area to help bring aid to local residents and their pets who have been displaced as a result of the storms


    Miranda said in a video shared to her Instagram account: "Hey y'all. I just want to jump on here and say how devastated we are to hear about the floods in South and Central Texas. I can't even come up with any words for the loss that everybody's suffering.

    "MuttNation Foundation is working really closely with Kerrville Pets Alive, as we speak to try to get more info and figure out where the needs are to support the pet community and pet owners in this disaster.

    "We will have more info as it goes, but I'll post everything that I know to post right now. So y'all join with us and try to help out as much as you can, and keep sending prayers, and I'll keep you posted."

    In the wake of the flood, the death toll has risen to 82 and 41 people are still listed as missing, including 10 young girls who were attending a Christian summer camp.

    And Khloe Kardashian - who has True, seven, and two-year-old Tatum with former partner Tristan Thompson - admitted her "heart is so deeply aching" as a result of the tragedy.

    She wrote on her Instagram Story: "I can't stop thinking about the families in Texas and the overwhelming pain they're going through right now.

    "As a mother, this kind of tragedy hits in a place words can't reach. The loss of those sweet, innocent children is something I can't fully process, there are just no words for this.

    "My heart is so deeply aching for every parent, every family member, and every community. Please know that so many of us are carrying you in our hearts right now and I'm praying with everything I have in me for those still missing. Texas, we are holding you close."

    Hilary Duff, who hails from Texas, is "praying for a miracle".

    She wrote on her own Instagram account: "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.

    "Tears fall every time I imagine one of these families receiving bad news ... waiting ... or entire families lost. Just gone. It's just too much to comprehend.

    "Beautiful Texas, I love you. To all the boots on the ground - I love you"

    The former Lizzie McGuire star reflected on her own younger years attending summer camp in the state.

    She added: "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.

    "It imprints on your soul. It changes your identity. It's a realm of true magic. You could never imagine an ending this tragic. I'm just so deeply, absolutely sorry. Your loss is felt across the world."
