Halle Berry donates entire wardrobe to fire victims

Halle Berry, an actress known for films like "Catwoman" and "Monster's Ball," has decided to support the Los Angeles community affected by the fires. She announced on Instagram that she is donating her "entire closet" to a boutique on Beverly Boulevard, which is operating as a relief point offering free clothes to those affected.

"If you live in the Southern California area, I urge you to do the same," Berry wrote. "This is something we can do right now today to help all of the displaced families that are in need of the basics today!" The actress thanked Sharon Stone for her initiative and encouraged others to donate used clothes, shoes, and household items. Michelle Pfeiffer was also willing to help, commenting, "Can I do tomorrow?"

The boutique's owner, Jenna Cooper, spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about transforming her store into a donation collection point. "I was concerned, being just a few miles from the destruction. I thought, what can I do?" she said. "A client of ours lost their house and someone I work with went to Target to buy essentials. People need stuff immediately and there are people who are willing to shop for them or to donate. Well, I have a space to make it happen." The store was cleared to make room for donations. "My community has nice things so we’re basically giving the shirts off of our back," Cooper explained.

For a week, the fires have consumed thousands of acres around Los Angeles. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to evacuate, and residents have lost their homes, workplaces, temples, shops, and cultural centers. The media highlights cases of stars and millionaires whose properties have been completely burned, but today, they are stepping up to help those who have nowhere to go.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Paris Hilton, and Beyoncé are among the stars who have announced generous donations. Each of these individuals will contribute a minimum of one million dollars.
