"I just wanted to say to everybody, please stay inside… stay off the road in Kingston," she advised. "I hope you've put oil in your lamp and are taking extra care."

"God bless you, goodnight," Ralph concluded.

Ralph is currently in Jamaica with daughter Ivy Coco Maurice, 29, and son Etienne Maurice, 32, the latter who is expected to get married on the island Saturday.

On his Instagram story, Etienne said he is "disappointed that some people aren't going to make it to the wedding" due to the storm predictions. "Whoever will be here will be here. I'm leaving it in God's hands," he added.

It's unclear if the wedding will still proceed.

USA TODAY reached out to reps for Ralph to comment.
