As news of the earthquake spread, Eva Longoria, Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna and more stars took to social media to send well wishes and lend their support.
"What horrible news about the earthquake in Mexico. Thank God my husband and family are safe in Mexico City. My prayers are with everyone," Longoria tweeted alongside a picture of the Mexican flag.

Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal took to Twitter to ask if anyone had any information about his father, José Ángel García, whom he couldn't get in contact with. The Mozart in the Jungle star then gave an update, saying, "They told me that my dad is okay. In some zones there is no power, telephone connection or cell phone reception. Thank you for your support."
He later tweeted, "My dad is safe and sound. Thank you all for your support. I thank you with all my heart."
