Southern California continues to battle catastrophic wildfires, prompting numerous celebrities to step forward with significant contributions and aid. As of Tuesday, the fires had claimed at least 25 lives, displaced thousands, and razed over 12,000 structures. The Palisades and Eaton fires alone have scorched nearly 40,000 acres combined, with containment efforts ongoing.

Public figures including Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, Jamie Lee Curtis, Halle Berry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry have joined forces to support affected communities and frontline workers. These efforts range from financial donations to hands-on volunteering at relief centers across the region.

Beyoncé's BeyGood Foundation contributed $2.5 million to the newly established LA Fire Relief Fund, aimed at assisting families in the Altadena/Pasadena areas and supporting community centers. Eva Longoria donated $50,000 to This Is About Humanity, emphasizing the importance of aiding displaced families and frontline workers.

Meghan and Harry made a personal appearance at an evacuation center, distributing food and engaging with victims and emergency responders. Jamie Lee Curtis, deeply affected by the fires in her neighborhood, pledged $1 million towards relief efforts.

Corporate giants have also stepped up, with Netflix and Comcast NBCUniversal each donating $10 million to organizations aiding wildfire victims, including World Central Kitchen and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. Local sports teams, such as the Lakers, Rams, and Dodgers, collectively contributed over $8 million towards relief efforts.
