Houston-born Beyoncé is among the stars who have pledged to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey, which has devastated parts of Texas since arriving on land on Friday (25 August).

The ‘Formation’ star is working with her BEYgood charity to help “as many” victims in her home city as possible, and has said (via the BBC): “I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help.”

She wrote on Instagram: “My daughters and I accept your challenge @kevinhart4real. We will be donating $500,000 to @americanredcross and @salvationarmyus today to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
