Khloe Kardashian Reacts to Texas Flood That Killed Over 80 Including 28 Children

Khloe Kardashian is grieving with Texas after a flash flood took the lives of dozens—most of them children.

The aftermath of the deadly Texas flood that ripped through Kerr County on the Fourth of July continues to shake the nation and Khloe Kardashian is one of the many public figures speaking out.

With at least 80 people confirmed dead, including 28 children, the tragedy has left entire families shattered.

In an emotional Instagram story posted Sunday, the reality star and mother of two said:

“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.”

According to local authorities, the flood swept through Camp Mystic—a summer camp for girls located near the Guadalupe River—while most of the children were still asleep in their cabins. By 4 a.m. Friday, July 4, flash floods surged over 20 feet above flood stage in just 90 minutes. Rescue crews say 21 children have been confirmed dead, with 11 little girls and one camp counselor still missing.

Overwhelming Loss at Camp Mystic

The hardest-hit area is Kerr County, where officials confirmed that 68 of the 80 known fatalities occurred. Witnesses say campers had no time to evacuate before the wall of water hit. Parents who had dropped their children off just days earlier are now gathering in heartbreak, hoping for miracles or mourning unimaginable losses.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one local first responder. “We’ve seen floods, but never with this much force and in such a short time. These kids didn’t have a chance.”

Camp Mystic sits just 225 feet from the Guadalupe River. It was the first to be hit when the flood waters started rising—just upstream from Hunt, Texas, where the gauge clocked a 20-foot rise between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. Reports suggest the surge likely hit Camp Mystic even earlier.

President Trump Reacts to Texas Flood Deaths

Former President Donald Trump also issued a statement on the tragic flood, offering condolences and promising action. Speaking from New Jersey, he confirmed that he had been in contact with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and might visit the area on Friday.

“It’s a horrible thing that took place, absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless, God bless the state of Texas.”

Trump added that his administration was working closely with state officials to provide support. While emergency teams continue recovery operations, the death toll may unfortunately rise as more victims are located.
