The first lady of Paraguay is reportedly among the dozens of family members concerned over their loved ones' whereabouts following a condo collapse outside of Miami that has killed at least one person and left 99 missing.

The sister of President Mario Abdo Benítez's wife Silvana López Moreira is among those unaccounted for, as is her husband and three children, NBC News reported, South American officials.

Euclides Acevedo, Paraguay's foreign minister, reportedly said that Sophia López Moreira, her husband Luis Pettengill, their three children and Lady Luna Villalba, a worker accompanying the family, are all missing after the Thursday morning collapse of a condo building in Surfside.

The first family of Paraguay is "frantically" trying to make contact with their loved ones as authorities comb through all the hospitals in Miami, Acevedo said.
