Beyoncé Makes $2.5 Million Donation to L.A. Fire Relief Funds: ‘Los Angeles We Stand with You’

Beyoncé has donated $2.5 million to those affected by the continuing wildfires in Los Angeles. The donation was announced on the Instagram account for BeyGOOD, the public charity foundation she founded, on Sunday, Jan. 12.

“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,” the caption continued. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna revealed in a news conference that at least 16 people have been reported missing since the wildfires began on Tuesday, Jan. 7, per The New York Times. Despite losing her own Malibu home to the flames, Paris Hilton made a “personal contribution” of $100,000 and promised to match additional dollars raised to $100,000 more to assist others in need.
