On his Instagram account, Somerhalder shared a short video with his wife talking about what he felt after he found out about the floods in Louisiana. After all, that was his home state.

"Hey everyone, it's Ian and Nikki. Listen, what happened in Louisiana is a disaster, plain and simple. Clearly, it's very personal to me because that's my home state. Nikki and I have been working very closely with the first lady of Louisiana Mrs. Donna Edwards to restore the normalcy into those schools; bring school supplies, get them rebuilt, get those kids back in class which is very important in the state... we're asking for your help," he said in the video.

"ATTENTION! IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ THIS JUST CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO PLEASE!! Hey everyone please participate and do this with us!!!" he captioned the video. As of late, the clip has already earned more than 1.4 million views.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Edwards also expressed her gratitude to Somerhalder and Reed for helping spread the word that Louisiana is in dire help.

On her Twitter account, Edwards wrote, "A huge thanks to @iansomerhalder @NikkiReed_I_Am for helping to raise funds for #laflood survivors! #lagov."

In other news, those who will be sending help to Reed will also be extending help to the animals that were affected by the flood.

"The Louisiana State Animal Response team is doing an amazing job not just rescuing cats and dogs, but also larger animals, which as you can imagine is extremely difficult, and getting supplies and vet care to them," she said in the clip.

Reed added that her husband's foundation have also helped Louisiana State and they have also given their personal donations to the state.
