“Los Angeles we stand with you,” read a statement on BeyGOOD’s Instagram page. “BeyGOOD is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund with a donation of 2.5 million dollars.”
The wildfires have claimed at least 24 lives, with many still missing and hundreds of homes destroyed. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, was among those affected, losing her Malibu home in the fires.
BeyGOOD, founded by Beyoncé in 2013, focuses on economic equity and disaster relief efforts for marginalized and under-resourced communities. The foundation has previously provided aid for hurricanes, wildfires, and other crises across the globe.
Beyoncé’s donation is part of a broader wave of celebrity and organizational support:Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest: Donated $1 million to relief efforts.
