"Thank God we are all fine," she added.
Xuxa later told her fans: "It was very difficult, some minutes in which we felt very nervous.
"I was recording a rainbow with my mobile phone in order to send it to my daughter but I could not send it because I was too nervous.
"People here are very nervous, crying a lot, but I wanted to talk in order to apologise to the people from Piaui."
