‘I just wanna say that I’m home,’ Beyonce said Friday of her birthplace in the wake of the hurricane, which initially hit August 25, dropping in excess of 50 inches of rain while leaving at least 60 people dead and damages totaling about $180 billion, and displacing residents in more than 203,000 households, according to Reuters.

‘This church is my home,’ she said. ‘I was maybe nine- or 10-years-old the first time I sat there where my daughter is sitting.

‘Y’all are my family, Houston is my home and I thank God that you’re safe, that your children are safe.

‘I’ve been blessed so that I can bless other people,’ she said, ‘and I ask of God to continue to do that for other people.’
