Rihanna has been having sleepless nights thinking about the Haitian orphans.

The pop star - who is from the Caribbean island of Barbados - has been left extremely distressed by the earthquakes which have hit Haiti leaving tens of thousands of people dead or injured.

Appearing on Oprah Winfrey's TV talk show, Rihanna said: "Often in a tragedy like this, it's the children who suffer the most. They have no way to get food, they're helpless. The children are the future."
