Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson pledge $1M to LA fire relief after their home narrowly avoided blaze

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have pledged $1M to Los Angeles fire relief after their home narrowly avoided by the blaze back in January. They shared a joint statement making the announcement on Friday.

The Toy Story voice actor and the Sleepless in Seattle actress join various other A-list stars who pledged their own funds to lift up other fire victims, including the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Paris Hilton, The Weeknd and Beyoncé. Hanks and Wilson's generous offer to the City of Angels comes after various celebrities lost their stunning multi-million dollar mansions due to the Pacific Palisades and Hollywood Hills fires last month. Including the Forrest Gump star's abode, Rebel Wilson, Tom Brady, Chris Pratt, Dan Aykroyd, Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Love Hewitt's mansions were narrowly saved from being burning down.
