1. Beyoncé

The singer extended her support through her non-profit organization, BeyGOOD, assisting families and community centers in wildfire-affected regions such as Altadena and Pasadena. On January 13, 2025, the organization announced, “Los Angeles, we stand with you. BeyGOOD is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund with a donation of 2.5 million dollars [sic].”

2. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also stepped in by opening their Montecito home to friends and loved ones displaced by the Palisades and Eaton Fires. These wildfires forced over 100,000 residents to evacuate.

3. Eva Longoria

Like the royal couple, the television actress also took in some of her friends who had to evacuate from other areas. Eva Longoria expressed deep sorrow for the City of LA on Instagram, lamenting the devastation caused by the fires and the countless lives affected.

4. Paris Hilton

Similar to Longoria, the media personality conveyed empathy for those impacted by the natural disaster. Drawing from the loss of her Malibu home, Paris Hilton launched an emergency fund through her non-profit, 11:11 Media Impact, to assist displaced families with young children.

5. Jamie Lee Curtis

In the same way as Hilton, the seasoned actress made a noteworthy financial contribution. “My husband and I and our children have pledged $1 million from our Family Foundation to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there,” she shared on Instagram.

6. Halle Berry

While Curtis focused on financial contributions, a fellow actress took a hands-on approach by donating clothing to support displaced families. Halle Berry stated on Instagram, “I’m packing up my entire closet and heading over to the COOP!”

7. Sharon Stone

Berry’s spotlight on COOP as a vital resource aligns with the actions of fellow actress Sharon Stone. The “Basic Instinct” star demonstrated her commitment by engaging in community support initiatives.

8. Bethenny Frankel

Meanwhile, reality star Bethenny Frankel highlighted the plight of staff members in wildfire-affected communities, many now facing homelessness. In a TikTok video, she stressed that not all Southern California residents are wealthy and pointed to a Northern California warehouse stocked with aid for immediate use.

9. Jennifer Garner

While Frankel uses her organization to assist, the movie star adopted a hands-on approach by collaborating with World Central Kitchen’s Chef José Andrés to offer support in Pacific Palisades, California.

10. Michael Douglas

Meanwhile, fellow actor, Michael Douglas, though not a resident of the area, expressed deep concern for the devastation caused by the wildfires, calling it “a nightmare tragedy” in a video on Instagram.

11. Simon Cowell

Like Douglas, the media mogul pledged a financial donation to support recovery initiatives. Simon Cowell described Los Angeles as his second home for 25 years and reflected on the tragedy of the wildfire’s impact.

12. Angelina Jolie & Knox Jolie-Pitt

In the meantime, other stars such as the award-winning actress, have taken a more personal approach to aid their communities. Angelina Jolie, alongside her son Knox Jolie-Pitt, focused on helping loved ones directly affected by the wildfires. The duo was spotted in Los Feliz, California, gathering water and essential items at a local grocery store.

13. Miley Cyrus

Jolie’s dedication to offering direct support to loved ones echoes the empathy shown by Miley Cyrus, who drew upon her own experience with wildfire destruction.

The singer expressed on The Miley Cyrus Foundation’s Instagram page, “My soul aches for those who are experiencing this devastation firsthand, and I cry for my city. It’s beyond heartbreaking.” Cyrus emphasized the Malibu Foundation, co-founded in 2018 after her own loss in the Woolsey Fires, as a key resource for supporting fire relief and aiding survivors.
