Selena Gomez joins LA fire relief efforts with hands-on help
Since the beginning of January, massive fires have been ravaging Los Angeles. Thousands of people have lost their homes, and the damages are estimated at tens of millions of dollars. In the face of this enormous tragedy, Selena Gomez has decided to support those in need—not just financially.
Los Angeles is burning. Fires are raging in the Hollywood Hills, and the internet is flooded with pictures of an orange sky. While it looks like a TikTok filter, it is a stark reminder of nature's destructive force. People are losing homes they have lived in for generations and are forced to leave everything behind.
At least 24 people have died in the fires, with many others injured. Authorities are searching for someone to blame, conspiracy theories are multiplying, and the first lawsuits are being filed. Celebrities, meanwhile, are stepping in to help those affected by the disaster. Taylor Swift has made significant donations to 10 organizations fighting the disaster and encourages others to provide similar support. Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga, along with other stars, will perform at a charity concert, while Selena Gomez has rolled up her sleeves to volunteer.
