Camera and flashlight on my iPhone 12 Pro have stopped working since update this morning! Help!!!

The camera and flashlight on my iPhone 12 Pro, which I have had for about 2 weeks, stopped working. I attempted using the flashlight this morning after auto update completed over night. Attempted using camera a few hours later and neither of them work. Flashlight doesn't turn on and camera shows a black screen in both directions.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
