Beyoncé is stepping up to support families impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, pledging $2.5 million through her BeyGOOD foundation. The LA Fire Relief Fund will aid those in the Altadena and Pasadena areas who have lost their homes, as well as provide resources to local churches and community centers addressing immediate needs.

“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.
  • The Walt Disney Company: Contributed $15 million for fire relief and rebuilding.
  • Rick Caruso: Donated $5 million to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Delivered supplies and toys to affected families during a surprise visit.
  • Miley Cyrus: Encouraged donations and mobilized support for wildfire relief organizations.
Beyoncé’s contribution highlights her ongoing commitment to using her platform for meaningful change. For more information on the LA Fire Relief Fund or to support the cause, visit beygood.org.
