Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah and Gia were injured and remain hospitalized.
Isabelle shared the family’s faith in her statement, writing: "My entire family — Papa, Neenee, Billy, Jen, Brandon, Kacie, Blake, Megan, Jamie, Blair, myself (Isabelle), Abby, Emma, Addison, Bella, Mercy, Gabby, Noah, Mya, Nova, Lulu, Alena, Gia, Jonah, Eli, Solomon, Uriah, Samson, Luke, and Anna — all proclaim that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.

Meet The Putmans aired on TLC in 2017 and was later revived on YouTube as Growing Up Putman.

'Papa' Bill Putman was previously convicted of assault.

Bill, the late patriarch of the Meet the Putmans family, was previously sentenced to a year of probation and 200 hours of community service in 2022. He was convicted in September of that year on four counts of assault and battery.
The TLC star got into a confrontation last year with a couple of workers outside the medical complex the Putman family is building in Caro. The incident was caught on cell phone video.
Before being sentenced, Bill apologized to Dylan Ireland, one of the victims in the case.
"We could have kept him from getting inside that car without me taking him to the ground and for that Dylan, I am sorry, truly. I'm sorry, I screwed up, but I was scared," Bill said during his sentencing hearing at the time.
