    Shakira is donating proceeds from her concert in San Antonio, Texas to help victims of the flash floods which have devastated the state

    The pop star, 48, performed at the city's Alamodome venue on Saturday night (05.07.25) as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and she promised to give a portion of the profits to a charity helping those impacted by the disaster, which has killed at least 82 people


    In a post on X, Shakira wrote: "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."

    Shakira added a link to fundraising drive operated by the Catholic Charities organisation, which aims to "deliver emergency supplies, including bottled water, blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits to areas impacted by catastrophic flooding".

    The floods devastated Kerr County on Friday (04.07.25) after heavy rained caused the banks of the Guadalupe River to burst.

    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.

    US President Donald Trump addressed the disaster in a post on his Truth Social platform, writing: "[First Lady] Melania and I are praying for all of the families impacted by this horrible tragedy.

    "Our Brave First Responders are on site doing what they do best. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!"

    At least 27 people died when the waters hit Camp Mystic and emergency workers are continuing their search for those who remain missing.

    Camp officials said in a statement to NBC News: "This tragedy has devastated us and our entire community. Our hearts are broken alongside the families that are enduring this tragedy, and we share their hope and prayers."

    The camp's director Dick Eastland was among those killed in the floods and his family have since revealed he lost his life attempting to save the young campers.
