Beyoncé has been praised after donating an eye-watering amount of money to victims to the LA wildfires.
It is now day seven since over 180,000 people had to abandon their homes in search of safety following the wildfires ravaging LA.
The flames have destroyed thousands of acres of lands and thousands of buildings and homes.
At least 24 people have sadly been confirmed dead due to the fires while many more are missing and unaccounted for.
Governor Gavin Newsom decalred it ‘one of the worst natural natural disasters in US history’.
Firefighters have warned that the disaster is still very active, with fires Palisade, Easton and Hurst still actively ravaging the countryside.
Many celebs live in the Palisades area and have been doing what they can to help.
Paris Hilton, who lost her own home in Malibu, has pledged $100k to an emergency fund and Snoop Dogg has transformed his clothing store into a donation centre for victims.
Now, Beyoncé has also done her part by donating $2.5 million to the LA Fires relief fund.
The singer and her husband Jay-Z own multiple homes in LA, including a $200 million ‘mega mansion’ in Malibu and an $88 million mansion in Bel Air.

The singer, with a net worth of around $760 million, started her charity BeyGOOD in 2013 and uses it to support people with education programs, as well as providing housing, health and disaster relief.
The organization announced on Tuesday that it has opened its own relief line to aid those impacted by the fires and that the money would go to help families in Altadena and Pasadena.
“The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires.
