As Hurricane Dorian raged its way to the Bahamas, Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton worried for his native homeland.

Dorian reached Category 5 status as it reached the island, which has a population of nearly 400,000, on Saturday. CNN reported Friday the hurricane caused least 30 deaths and officials in the Bahamas said that hundreds, or even thousands of people, are missing.

"The damage back home is devastating and my heart goes out to my fellow Bahamians as we deal with the effects of Hurricane Dorian," Ayton tweeted Friday.
