“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberly and the tragic loss of so many lives - including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friends’ little girls,” Hunt posted on Instagram Sunday.
Fox News reports that the girl was identified as 9-year-old Janie Hunt.
She was attending Camp Mystic, the century-old all-girls Christian summer camp where at least 27 campers and counselors died. Officials said five campers and one counselor have still not been found.
Janie’s mother also confirmed her death to CNN.
Before she was confirmed dead, search and rescue teams included Janie in a Facebook post on July 4 that listed numerous missing campers.
“How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen — even to children?” Tavia Hunt added in her post.
As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 160 people still are believed to be missing and at least 115 have died in the floods, AP reports.
