Some Hollywood A-listers are putting their money where their mouths are as the wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles.
Stars such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Garner and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped up to support their communities by getting involved in relief efforts.
The fires, which have killed at least 24 people and displaced thousands of others, have taken a major toll on the city.
Paris Hilton, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Billy Crystal, Ricki Lake, Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Miles Teller, John Goodman, Mandy Moore and Anna Faris are among the celebs who have lost their homes in the fires.
Hollywood events have also been affected by the fires. The 2025 Critics’ Choice Awards were postponed from Jan. 12 to Jan. 26, while the Oscars 2025 nominations voting was extended by five days and the nominations announcement date was delayed from Jan. 17 to Jan. 23.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will still take place Feb. 2, but the show will be dedicated to “raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours,” the Recording Academy confirmed.
In light of a massive crisis, awards season is taking a backseat as Hollywood focuses on helping victims of the deadly fires.
Here are all the celebrities supporting LA wildfire relief efforts.
