Ricky Martin arrives in Puerto Rico to aid in relief

Ricky Martin touched down in his home island of Puerto Rico to help aid hurricane victims on Monday.

The 45-year-old musician has been at the forefront of relief efforts following the devastation left by Hurricanes Maria and Irma in the U.S. territory.

Ricky was joined by other celebrities such as Luis Fonsi, Emilio, Chayanne, and Gloria Estefan who arrived to lend a hand.

Power is still cut off on most of the island, schools and many businesses are closed and much of the countryside is struggling to find fresh water and food after the devastating hurricanes.
