Gracie Hunt, heiress to the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, has spoken out for the first time following the tragic death of her 9-year-old cousin in the Texas floods. The daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt called the tragedy “a loss beyond comprehension,” as the family mourns the passing of a young girl described as a bright light in their lives.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post, Gracie wrote:
“We are heartbroken by the loss of Janie. She was a pure light in our lives, and the grief is beyond words. Please pray for my family and for all the families who are grieving after this unimaginable tragedy.”
Janie Hunt lost her life during a devastating flash flood that struck Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp in Texas, when the Guadalupe River rose rapidly on the 4th of July. The Hunt family has long-standing ties to the camp, with Gracie and her mother, Tavia Hunt, having both attended it during their childhood.
Gracie recalled the camp as a deeply meaningful place from her own youth:
“Camp Mystic was always a place I felt safe, a place I grew in my faith, in nature, and in sisterhood. That’s why this loss cuts so deeply.”
As rescue efforts continue and families cope with the aftermath, Gracie ended her message with a call for unity and enduring faith:
“We believe that even in the darkest of times, the light of kindness and faith still leads the way.”
