Beyoncé donates $2.5 million to victims

PEOPLE – The stars are mobilizing. As the fires continue to rage in Los Angeles, several celebrities have already provided their support to the victims of the fires for several days. The latest one? Beyoncé, who in a press release shared this Monday, January 13, promised a very symbolic contribution.

Through his BeyGOOD foundation, the singer TEXAS HOLD’EM said it is donating $2.5 million to help families in the Altadena and Pasadena neighborhoods who have suffered losses. Launched in 2013, his charity should also help in the reconstruction of churches and community places in this area.

The information comes to us this Monday, while the singer's mother, Tina Knowles, recently announced that she had lost her house in the flames. She's not the only one. As we write these lines, more than 12,000 structures – homes or various buildings – have been destroyed or damaged by the fires.

As of today, 105,000 residents remain under mandatory evacuation orders and 87,000 under evacuation warnings in the city, including around the Pacific Palisades and Heaton fires. The human toll continues to rise. The authorities reported 24 deaths this Sunday.

Three fires continue to rage around Los Angeles. The largest fire is the Palisades fire, which has already burned more than 9,300 acres and is 13% contained. The Eaton Fire is the second largest and has burned more than 5,660 hectares. It is 27% contained. At Hurst it has expanded to 320 hectares and has been almost completely contained.

Like Beyoncé, several other stars have also announced that they are donating to help the victims, like Jamie Lee Curtis, Paris Hilton, Kylie Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson. Others, like Sharon Stone, are mobilizing in their own way. The actress of Basic Instinct said she was ready to welcome friends and family victims of the fires into her home. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle delivered meals to disaster victims.
