Dennis Quaid's teen daughter worked near Camp Mystic during Texas floods
Published in News & Features
Dennis Quaid’s teen daughter is “safe” after last week’s deadly flooding in Texas killed at least 27 people at an all-girls Christian summer camp not far from where she was a counselor.
During an appearance on Fox News Thursday, Quaid — a Texas native who himself spent two childhood summers at camp in Hill Country — said 17-year-old Zoe was “actually a few miles away from [Camp] Mystic as well, further north. And thankfully their camp was OK.”
“My heart goes out to everybody,” the “Parent Trap” star said of the flooding that ripped through Central Texas on the Fourth of July. “My heart goes out to the Hunt family, who are friends of my wife Laura’s and I … Janie Hunt, who was lost that weekend. I can’t imagine … none of us can.”
Janie, 9, who was related to Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, was among the 27 campers and counselors confirmed dead at Camp Mystic.
Also killed was the camp’s owner and executive director Dick Eastland, who had reportedly pushed local officials for flood warning systems over the years. He lost his life trying to save campers.
Officials on Thursday said that six from Camp Mystic remain missing — one counselor and five campers — according to NBC affiliate NEWS4SA.
At least 120 people total, including more than 35 kids, died in the holiday weekend’s devastating floods, and even more remain missing.
