An earthquake with a reported magnitude of 6.4 destroyed homes and buildings in Petrinja.

A 12-year-old girl is among six people believed to have died, with at least 20 more rushed to hospital.

Ex-Liverpool star Lovren – who now plays for Zenit Saint Petersburg – has reached out to help.

He will offer 16 endangered families free accommodation at his hotel on the Island of Pag.

Lovren, who has 62 caps for Croatia, shared a message and contact details with his 2.6 million Instagram followers.

He wrote: “Dear citizens of Petrinja, I am making my hotel in Novalja available to the 16 most endangered families.

“If you need temporary accommodation, contact my team at info@joelhotel.com or Whatsapp 0996769971 with your details. Advantage of families with children.”

Fellow Croatian international Kovacic, 26, has also vowed to help through his foundation.
