Beyoncé donated $2.5 million to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund while California continues to be ravaged by wildfires.
“Los Angeles we stand with you. 🫶🏽,” the “Cuff It” singer’s charity foundation, BeyGOOD, captioned an Instagram post about the hefty contribution.
“BeyGOOD is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund with a donation of 2.5 million dollars.”
“The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires.”
The non-profit organization, which Beyoncé founded in 2013, concluded its post by sharing a link so others could support the impacted families and “learn more about BeyGOOD’s mission.”
Several fans applauded the “Drunk In Love” singer, 43, for her charitable act in the comments section of the post.
“And she didn’t go online begging fans for their money. She took it out her own pockets. Queen behavior 🙌🔥🐝,” wrote one user.
“BeyGOOD always shows up when needed ❤️ let’s make sure the beyhive shows up too, and get those donations in,” added another.
“Love her down & her CONSISTENT SUPPORT OF BLACK PPL! She says the ‘Beyhive has her’ but she got US!🥹🤎 FYI During the Civil Rights era, Altadena was a rare land of opportunity for Black ppl to reach middle class w/out the discriminatory practices of denying access to credit.🤎🤎🤎🤎,” said a third netizen.
“I just knew BEYGOOD would come through for the great people of LA!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽,” commented a fourth fan.
The news of Beyoncé’s donation comes days after her mom, Tina Knowles, revealed she lost her Malibu home in the devastating LA fires.
“This is what I was looking at on my birthday this past weekend from my tiny little bungalow on the water in Malibu! It was my favorite place, my sanctuary, my sacred Happy Place. Now it is gone !!” Knowles captioned an Instagram post of a view of dolphins in the ocean from her home.
The fashion designer, 71, then thanked the “brave men and women” of their fire department who “risked their lives in dangerous conditions.”
Knowles said the outcome could have been “so much worse without the dedication of the disaster workers and first responders.”
“I am praying diligently for our beautiful City of Los Angeles !! We are resilient though and we will recover! ‘This too shall pass’❤️,” she concluded.
Several stars have lost their homes in the LA fires, which started in the Pacific Palisades Jan. 7, including Paris Hilton, Miles Teller, Jhené Aiko and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
