Kansas City Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt’s Family Loses 9-Year-Old Girl in Floods at Texas Summer Camp

The family of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is grieving the loss of a 9-year-old girl who died in the flash floods in Texas over the weekend.

According to FOX 4, Janie Hunt died after Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Kerr County, became flooded due the catastrophic weather event

Clark’s wife, Tavia Hunt, took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 6, to comment on the news. “Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls,” Tavia, 53, wrote.

CNN reported on Sunday that the flash floods have killed more than 82 people, per information received from “state and local officials.”

Kerr County officials relayed that crews “are continuing to search for 10 campers and one counselor from Camp Mystic,” which was “swamped by flood waters.”

That same day, Fox News reported that Camp Mystic director and co-owner Dick Eastland also lost his life as he “raced to save the lives of his young campers.”

Just one hour prior to Tavia’s Instagram Story that addressed Janie, she revealed that her family had donated half a million dollars to emergency services and resources aiding flood relief.

“Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation and loss of life caused by the floods in Kerr County and Texas Hill County, especially for the young girls and their families, as well as all of those lost and their loved ones,” Tavia wrote. “We hold everyone impacted in our thoughts and prayers. Standing side by side with The Salvation Army’s critical response, we are also donating $500,000 to provide immediate resources for rescue, relief and long term recovery efforts.”

As of Sunday night, six counties have been affected by flash flooding, with 68 deaths recorded in Kerr County, six deaths recorded in Travis County, three deaths recorded in Burnet County, two deaths recorded in both Kendall County and Williamson County, and a single death recorded in Tom Green County.
