Many music stars have been reacting to the disaster on Twitter.

"My prayers go out to anyone that is being effected by the disaster in Japan,” Katy Perry said.

Williams said she was “praying so hard” for people in Japan and Hawaii, which was also struck by the tsunami.

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am told his Twitter followers to “pray for Japan” and revealed he had been unable to contact several friends.

Chris Brown said: “I’m buggin out right now over japan!!#praying."

The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami is unclear.
