“Provisions are being made so that he won’t be trapped in a similar situation again. God bless and stay safe everyone!”

In a follow-up tweet, Samantha hit back at people who claimed she was “lying” about the effect the deadly earthquake had on her dad Thomas’ living conditions.

“it’s been so funny watching stinky little trolls mouth off about the earthquake in the Philippines and say things like, ‘you’re lying, everyone knows your brother was there to help,’” she tweeted, referring to her brother, Thomas Markle Jr.

Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas, 81, relocated to the Philippines with his son earlier this year in an effort to escape the “awful drama” he’s been wrapped up in relating to his famous daughter.

“I am ready for a change,” he told the Daily Mail in January. “I have felt stuck in a rut for some time and I am ready to meet new people and experience kindness.”
