In response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, numerous celebrities have stepped forward to support relief efforts through generous donations and initiatives. The Weeknd, through his XO Humanitarian Fund in partnership with World Food Program USA, has contributed $1 million to organizations including the LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, and the LA Regional Food Bank. This donation coincides with his decision to postpone the release of his sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and cancel a scheduled performance at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, expressing his respect and concern for the affected communities.
Beyoncé, via her BeyGOOD foundation, has pledged $2.5 million to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund, specifically targeting families and community centers impacted by the Eaton Fire. Her mother, Tina Knowles, personally experienced the loss of her Malibu home due to the fires, underscoring the personal nature of this contribution.
Snoop Dogg has also actively engaged in relief efforts, praising the community’s unity during these challenging times. He has hinted at organizing a benefit concert to raise funds for those affected and is facilitating donations through his Inglewood store. Snoop emphasized the importance of supporting firefighters and the collective effort to assist victims of the wildfires.
Other notable contributions include Leonardo DiCaprio’s $1 million donation to support urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts, and Paris Hilton’s establishment of an emergency fund through her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, starting with a personal contribution and matching offer for further donations. Taylor Swift has also expressed her heartbreak over the wildfires, urging fans to donate and contribute to multiple local funds and charities. And of course, Will.i.am, D-Nice, and DJ Hed are joining forces to support Los Angeles wildfire victims with a special fundraising livestream event titled “L.A. Check-In.”
These collective efforts by celebrities highlight a strong commitment to aiding Los Angeles during this crisis, providing financial support, and raising awareness to help communities rebuild and recover.
