  • 01/09/2017

Miley Cyrus broke down crying as she spoke about Hurricane Harvey on the Ellen Show.

The 'Wrecking Ball' singer, 24, became emotional when Ellen DeGeneres brought up her donation of $US500,000 to relief efforts.

"It'll make me cry. So, I can't really - I can't really talk about it," she said.

"It just really makes me just really upset... So I really hope people know  like, I couldn't fake it. You know, my grandma's sitting here and my mom's here and I go home to my seven dogs and if I didn't have that anymore, it'd just be really hard."

The Houston, Texas death toll stands at 38, with approximately 100,000 houses damaged or destroyed by the storm.

Other celebrities who have donated to relief efforts include Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé and the Kardashians.
