Jared Leto has led a minute of silence at the MTV EMAs in Amsterdam for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

The devastating storm has claimed an estimated 10,000 victims in the Philippines, and has left much of the country cut off from aid.

"So as we celebrate in one part of the world its completely legitimate and appropriate to send an acknowledgement their way. We’re in a very fortunate situation right now and the tables can be turned very quickly.’’
