As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to devastate the city, celebrities are coming together to support the wildfire relief efforts that have been working tirelessly to help the community rebuild and gather resources for victims.
At the time of publication, the Palisades fire has burned nearly 24,000 acres and is only 19% contained, while the east-side Eaton fires are 45% contained at 14,000 acres. In the past week, the fires have caused 24 deaths, nearly 100,000 people under evacuation orders, and more than 12,000 structures destroyed. The tragedy has killed 25 people to date.
As a result, number of stars are using their platforms and net worth to support give back and donate to the community, including everyone from Beyoncé and Doja Cat to Metallica and more. Entertainment industry figures have spoken about the loss of their homes — including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, Jhené Aiko, Paris Hilton, songwriter Diane Warren, The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag and many more — even as others step up to offer help.
Additionally, resources are available for those who have lost their homes or need assistance in other ways. MusiCares and the Recording Academy have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals impacted by the crisis, making a combined pledge of $1 million to kick off the efforts. People who have worked in the music industry for more than five years may qualify for immediate assistance, including up to $1,500 in financial aid and $500 in food vouchers.
