Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds donated a whopping $1 million to hurricane relief efforts after their close pal, Taylor Swift, handed over a staggering $5 million to the charity.
“We thank Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for donating $1 million to our disaster relief fund for Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Their longtime support of Feeding America in times of crisis has helped our network on the ground before, during and after disasters,” the organization wrote in an Instagram graphic on Thursday.
The food bank charity explained that the couple’s contribution will go towards “basic needs like water, ready to eat food and supplies to communities facing heartbreaking loss and a long recovery.”
The “It Ends With Us” actress, 47, and the “Deadpool” actor, 37, donated the significant funds after the charity thanked Swift, Lively’s BFF, for giving them $5 million.
“We are incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricane Helene and Milton efforts. This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, [provide] essential food, clean water and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms,” the statement read on Wednesday.
Feeding America thanked the “Cruel Summer” singer “for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need.”
Swift –– who was recently named the wealthiest female musician in the world with her $1.6 billion net worth –– has previously donated massive amounts to charities and directly to the victims, alike.
Both social media posts received several comments from fans thanking the A-Listers for sharing their wealth in this time of need.
Hurricane Milton came barreling towards Florida earlier this week just two weeks after the state –– and surrounding states –– were still recovering from the damaging Category 4 storm, Hurricane Helene.
Areas in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia were also severely affected by the storm after it continued unexpectedly rapidly moving inland and caused unprecedented flooding in the region.
Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Milton began turning into a dangerous storm in the Caribbean Sea and reached Category 5 status by Oct. 7.
Milton slowed down to a Category 3 storm before hitting Siesta Key, Fla., on Wednesday. The storm went straight through the west to east coast of Florida and left at least 17 people dead.
