Jennifer Lopez is speaking out on the devastation in Latin America in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
In an intimate Instagram video, the music superstar revealed that she still hasn’t heard from her family in Puerto Rico two days after the storm ravaged the U.S. territory and left millions powerless.
Speaking backstage from her Las Vegas residency, the 48-year-old encouraged her followers to “help rebuild our island” by supporting and donating to the efforts of the First Lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Areizaga.

J.Lo isn’t the only celeb hoping to raise awareness and money for Puerto Rico — Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee, Marc Anthony, and Rosie Perez have all taken to social media to drum up support.
Martin, who was born in Puerto Rico’s capital city San Juan, shared a similar video to Instagram on Friday, urging fans to donate to his YouCaring site for hurricane relief. As of this writing, Martin’s charity alone has raised over $133,000.
