World leaders and Hollywood`s biggest names took to social media Tuesday to express their shock and grief following the powerful magnitude-7.
1 earthquake that rocked Mexico City, killing at least 100 people.
The earthquake — the second to strike Mexico in 12 days — struck the Mexican capital 32 years to the day after a major quake devastated the densely populated metropolis in 1985, which claimed thousands of lives, left many more homeless and reduced parts of the city to rubble.
  President Trump shared a message on Twitter, saying: "God bless the people of Mexico City.
We are with you and will be there for you.
" Vice President Pence provided a similar message of solidarity on Twitter, telling the people of Mexico City: "We`re thinking of you and, as POTUS said, we are with you.
" Candian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his thoughts were with those affected by the "devastating" earthquake, adding: "Canada will be ready to help our friends.
" Trudeau`s sentiments were shared with Central American leaders, including El Salvador`s president Salvador Sánchez Cerén, Panama`s president Juan Carlos Varela, Costa Rica`s president Luis Guillermo Solís and Honduras` president Juan Orlando Hernández.
TV show host Ellen DeGeneres also took to Twitter, sending her love and support to the people Mexico.
And she wasn`t alone.
Actress Eva Longoria shared on Twitter that her "husband and family were safe in Mexico City" following the quake, adding that her "prayers are with everyone.
" Actress Elizabeth Banks tweeted, "Images coming from #MexicoCity are terrifying.
Thoughts prayers good vibes good karma aid - send it all.
" "This is insane," actor Josh Gad tweeted.
"The level of chaos around the globe is surreal.
Praying for everyone affected.
#MexicoCity" Singers Brittany Spears and Enrique Iglesias also expressed their support for Mexico, tweeting similar messages of a Mexican flag in the shape of a heart.
