Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt has said she is “so heartbrooken” after last week’s devastating floods in Texas.

The 48-year-old, who is a co-host of Fox & Friends, shared a message on social media dedicated to the families, friends and victims of the floods – with a special mention to Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp located along the river.

Ainsley posted a photo of a cross on a mountain with the caption, “I am so heartbroken about what has happened with the floods in Texas.

“I am praying for the families and friends of the victims of the floods – and for the sweet babies from Camp Mystic.

“May they Rest In Peace. Sending love and prayers to you all.”

Many fans rallied around Ainsley after she posted the moving message, with one writing, “Sooo beautiful. Love you.”

Another said, “It’s so tragic & heartbreaking. Praying for the families & loved ones.”

A third wrote, “It’s devastating!! I can’t stop crying for thinking about all the families who have lost loved ones and the parents of these young girls.”

Someone else added, “So, so heartbreaking…praying for all the families who lost their loved ones.”

More than 100 people were killed over the Fourth of July holiday and others are still missing, including girls attending Camp Mystic in Hunt.

Friday’s flash floods started with a particularly bad storm that dropped most of its 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain in the dark early morning hours.

After a flood watch notice midday on Thursday, the National Weather Service office issued an urgent warning around 4am that raised the potential of catastrophic damage and a severe threat to human life.

By at least 5:20am, some in the Kerrville City area say water levels were getting alarmingly high. The massive rain flowing down hills sent rushing water into the Guadalupe River, causing it to rise 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes.

In Kerr County, home to youth camps in the Texas Hill Country, searchers have found the bodies of 84 people, including 28 children, Sheriff Larry Leitha said Monday afternoon.

Fatalities in nearby counties brought the total number of deaths as of Monday afternoon to at least 104.

Ten girls and a counselor were still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic.
