Miley Cyrus was reduced to tears Wednesday during her appearance on The Ellen Show as she sent condolences to Hurricane Harvey victims.

The popstar, 24, donated $500,000 to relief efforts on behalf of her non-profit organization, the Happy Hippie Foundation.

The moment Ellen began talking about her appreciation for the star’s work, Cyrus couldn’t hold back her overwhelming emotion.

‘Thank you … don’t make me cry,’ Miley responded in the sit down interview. ‘I can’t really talk about it [because] it just makes me really upset.’

Cyrus further explained, ‘You know, my grandma’s sitting here [and] my mum’s here, and I go home to my seven dogs — I didn’t have that anymore, it’d just be really hard,’ she said.

‘I hope people understand that I can put myself in those people’s shoes and just know what it feels like to have everything taken away from you.’

Cyrus was just one of several celebs and everyday supporters around the world who showed compassion and dedication to Texas residents who lost nearly everything amidst the natural catastrophe.

Hurricane Harvey, a powerful Category 4 hurricane, has been named one of the worst storms to ever hit the United States, and is swiftly becoming one of the most expensive natural disasters in US history.

Damage from Hurricane Harvey could put it among the top five most costly U.S. storms ever, with failing dams and levees driving up loss forecasts, data modeling showed this week.

Estimates for total economic costs and damage shot up earlier this week to $42 billion from $30 billion, as flooding began to spread to Louisiana and flood control measures became overwhelmed, according to Chuck Watson, founder of the disaster modeling firm Enki Research.

Areas east of Houston, Texas have been drenched with more than 50 inches of rain. The storm hovered over southeastern Texas and other parts of southwestern Louisiana.
