Country singer Pat Green was deeply and personally affected by the tragedy in Texas.

Green confirmed that his brother, sister-in-law, and two of their children died in the flash floods in Central Texas.

“Over the weekend, during the devastating flooding that hit Central Texas, my family — like so many others — suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss. We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy. Right now, we kindly ask for privacy and space as we mourn, support each other, and begin to process what comes next for our family.”

Green concluded, “Thank you for your love, prayers, and compassion.”

His wife, Kori Green, also thanked people for their support.

“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love and concern. Pat’s little brother John, his wife, Julia, and two of their children were swept away in the Kerrville flood. We are heartbroken and anxiously waiting for all of them to be found. Thank you for your prayers.”

John Burgess, 39, and Julia Anderson Burgess, 38, were camping in an RV in Kerrville at the time of the flood with their two sons, Jack, 5, and James, 1, The Express reported, also noting that the couple’s daughter, Jenna, was at a nearby summer camp and is unharmed.

Family member Michael Schwab gave an update on social media on Tuesday afternoon, confirming that the body of his cousin, Julia, had been found.

Green, who hails from and often sings about Texas, postponed a concert on Friday, due to the flooding. As of late Tuesday, 111 people had died and at least 173 people were unaccounted for, per the New York Times.

“Our prayers go out to all the folks affected by the floods in the Texas Hill Country,” the “Wave on Wave” singer announced on Facebook at the time.

On Monday, another Texas-born celebrity, Jenna Bush Hager, explained on Today that she also had connections to the area, specifically the nearby Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors had been lost.

“My mom was a counselor there, but also so many of my friends were raised at this camp,” Hager said of former first lady Laura Bush on Monday’s show. “Texas camps are institutions … where many family members — generations [go].”

Hager explained that her own mother had been a drama counselor at the camp.

“But many of my friends were there, had their kids there last week. And the stories that I heard over the last couple days were beautiful and heartbreaking,” she said.
