Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey has requested his fans to step in for a good cause and when it matters the most. The actor has requested his fans  "lend a helping hand" following the devastating floods in Texas.

At least 78 people have died and dozens more are missing following flash floods in Kerr County, and the Dallas Buyers Club star reflected on the "shock" of the catastrophe in his home state, reports ‘Female First UK’.

Matthew, 55, took to his X, formerly Twitter, as he wrote, "At least 70 lives have been lost, many more are unaccounted for, and countless Texans are hurting - inside and out. If you`re able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can. It`s gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain and the chaos need to steady hand of a neighbour”.
