Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt has broken her silence on the death of her 9-year-old family member in the tragic Texas floods.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters \u2014 for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas,\u201d Hunt, 26, wrote via her Instagram<\/a> on Monday, July 7. \u201cI don\u2019t have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn\u2019t spare us from pain \u2014 but it means we never face it alone. \ud83e\udd0d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunt added that \u201ceven in the darkest alleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story.\u201d She also shared her prayers for Texas and included multiple bible verses.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day \u2026 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. \u2014 2 Corinthians 4:16\u201318,\u201d one passage read.<\/p>\n

Local outlet FOX 4<\/a>, reported on Sunday, July 6, that Janie Hunt was one of the victims<\/a> of the fatal flooding at Camp Mystic<\/a>, a Christian summer camp held annually in Texas. At least 80 people have died throughout central Texas due to the flooding<\/a>. Forty-one people are missing, including 10 children and a counselor from the camp, per the outlet.<\/p>\n
