Gigi and Bella Hadid have taken to social media to show the heartbreaking results of the Californian floods on their hometown.
The Thomas Fires at the end of 2017 burned away some of the Santa Barbara County natural defenses against mudslides, resulting in flooding which has led to evacuation, injuries and at least 13 people killed.
The supermodel Hadid sisters who grew up in the area have shared heartbreaking photos of the devastation.
“My beautiful home town, just after getting through weeks of wild fire, has been hit by a major storm. That “river” is the 101 freeway. 😞 Please keep the families of Santa Barbara in your thoughts and prayers,”
Her younger sister Bella also shared a photo of the devastation on Instagram.
“My beautiful hometown of Montecito…. Where my roots were placed, where my mother raised me and my family. Completely under water. I really can’t believe it. I am praying and thinking so much for our friends in the hospital and their families that are still missing,” she wrote. “For our horses, dogs, cats-all animals- that gave us happiness, who are now searching for a dry place to lay their heads.. our elementary school… The freeway to drive to school and where @mini_jk_imbig and I would walk after school.. under water. My heart is broken…. I remember when something similar happened in La Conchita about 12 years ago, so close to us and how much it took to rebuild…”
“I can’t imagine how Montecito feels now. I am so sorry,” she continued. “As always- Please send websites for donations. I’m ready to help. Thank you to the rescue, fire fighters and security teams in SB for staying strong and your hard work to pull out anybody and anything in sight. My love is with you so deeply SB.”
