Los Angeles Wildfires Prompt Unprecedented Donations from Celebrities, Corporations, and Tech Giants

The devastating fires, which have displaced nearly 200,000 people and claimed at least 25 lives, have spurred over $200 million in pledged relief from individuals and organizations.

Tech companies including Google, Amazon, and Netflix have collectively pledged over $50 million to wildfire relief efforts, with donations directed toward emergency aid, rebuilding, and community support.
Major contributions from billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Ballmer, and organizations such as Disney and Comcast have significantly bolstered relief efforts, with donations ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
Celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, and Eva Longoria have donated millions and mobilized their platforms to encourage further support for affected communities.
The fires, which began on January 7, have destroyed thousands of homes, including those of public figures, and are only partially contained, with the Pacific Palisades and Altadena among the hardest-hit areas.
Efforts to assist evacuees include temporary housing initiatives by Airbnb, waived service fees by Verizon, and benefit events like the upcoming FireAid concert organized by sports teams and entertainment groups.
