“Heartbroken doesn’t begin to cover it. Consumed. Obsessed. Praying for even a shred of a miracle-to find a child alive in the wake of this boundless disaster,” she began her heartfelt statement on Instagram. “Tears fall every time I imagine one of these families receiving bad news… waiting… or entire families lost. Just gone. It’s too much to comprehend.”

“Beautiful Texas, I love you,” Duff continued. “To all the boots on the ground-I love you. To those facing tremendous, impossible loss-we are looking at their beautiful faces, embossing them in our minds. We will remember them. Bright lights, gone far too soon.”

“I was – and forever will be – that girl with a wild hearted, fierce love for my barefoot summer at camp in the Texas hill country. It imprints on your soul. It changes your identity. It’s a realm of true magic. You could never imagine an ending this tragic,” Duff concluded. “I’m just so deeply, absolutely sorry. Your loss is felt across the world.”

Christy Carlson Romano said she had thought about sending her own daughter to Camp Mystic this summer. 

“I’m sitting outside waiting for my daughter at a playdate thinking about how we were almost thinking of Camp Mystic for a camp choice,” she said, per E! News. “A lot of people I know send their kids there and a few of them don’t know where their kids are or they were just recently reunited with them.”
