Devastating wildfires have ravaged Los Angeles County, leaving thousands without homes. However, the community has come together in support of those affected. A-listers such as Angelina Jolie, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jennifer Aniston’s friends have donated to disaster relief efforts.
Angelina Jolie sheltered friends at her home after being evacuated from her own residence. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed she had donated $1 million to relief efforts. The Kardashian-Jenner family also showed their support by donating to firefighters who were providing meals.
Real estate agent Jason Oppenheimer has pledged to represent anyone affected by the wildfires for free. He stated on social media that his agency would provide assistance to those in need, regardless of commission earned during rental transactions.
Sadly, eleven people have lost their lives in the fires. Celebrities such as Leighton Meester and Adam Brody also had family homes destroyed. The Palisades Fire has burned over 21,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire has destroyed several communities.
Thousands of Angelenos are volunteering to help displaced families. Even royalty, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, made an unannounced visit to Pasadena to volunteer alongside other celebrities. They served meals at a community kitchen set up by World Central Kitchen. The couple also met with firefighters, elderly individuals, and families who had been displaced.
The fires have affected over 150,000 people, with evacuation orders in place for many neighborhoods. Despite the destruction, the outpouring of support from A-listers is providing hope to those affected by the wildfires.
