The wildfires in California have displaced over 12,000 families, many of whom had to evacuate so quickly that they could only take essential documents. Emergency centers have been established to collect clothing, footwear, hygiene items, and other necessities for those affected.
Jennifer Lopez contributed by sorting through her extensive wardrobe, accumulated over her years in Hollywood, and sending a truckload of humanitarian aid.
“It’s an enormous amount of clothing worth a lot of money. There are comfortable everyday items like hoodies, jeans, tennis shoes, sweaters, and jackets perfect for winter. Jennifer has been collecting clothes for the past 30 years, so she had a lot to choose from,” an insider shared.
Additionally, the 55-year-old singer and actress donated various accessories and boxes of her JLO skincare products, including cleansing and moisturizing items. The donation was directed toward students, teachers, and families within the Los Angeles School District and Pasadena schools, and was made through The A-List organization, which organized a grassroots campaign to assist those who lost everything.
Jennifer also supported the Boys and Girls Club, which provides safe spaces and aid to children and their families during natural disasters. She herself attended the club during her childhood in the Bronx.
“I can’t imagine how traumatic these events must be, especially for kids who’ve lost their homes and sense of security. In these times, the Boys and Girls Clubs in Los Angeles are ready to provide support, resources, and safe spaces for children and families in need. It’s a place where I found comfort and refuge as a child, a place where kids can feel safe, cared for, and regain strength, even during tough times,” she said.
While Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t share his wardrobe, the 50-year-old actor made a significant contribution by donating $1 million (103 million rubles) to support firefighters battling the ongoing fires and assist victims.
“The wildfires in Los Angeles are devastating our city. I’m donating $1 million as part of a rapid response partnership program to support both immediate needs and recovery efforts,” said the Oscar-winning actor.
It was later revealed that DiCaprio had left the burning city. The actor, along with his 26-year-old Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, flew to Mexico on a private jet.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, embroiled in a high-profile scandal with P. Diddy, donated $2.5 million to help those affected by the fire in Etna. Jamie Lee Curtis and Eva Longoria each contributed $1 million to charitable funds.
