BeyGOOD, the foundation launched by the singer in 2013, made a pledge of two and a half million dollars to help the victims of the Los Angeles fires.
Faced with the fires which continue to ravage Los Angeles, Beyoncé’s charitable foundation called BeyGOOD announces a donation of 2.5 million dollars (approximately 2.4 million euros). The sum will be donated to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund, which helps families affected by the disaster.
“The fund is used to help families in the Altadena and Pasadena areas who have lost their homes,” BeyGOOD explains on Instagram.
The Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund will also be used to support “churches and neighborhood houses”, always with the aim of “responding to the immediate needs of people affected by the forest fires”.

Launched in 2013, the BeyGOOD foundation works in the fields of education, health and housing and helps victims of natural disasters. This donation of 2.5 million dollars for the victims of the fires is in addition to other American show business initiatives; as Variety lists, $15 million was announced by the Walt Disney Company and Paramount promised a million donation, as did actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
-For a week, and despite the massive mobilization of firefighters, entire sections of the second largest city in the United States have been devastated: more than 12,000 structures have been destroyed and more than 15,000 hectares have gone up in smoke. The death toll stands at at least 24.
Hollywood, Malibu and even Pacific Palisades, upscale neighborhoods of the city of angels, are ravaged by flames. Several celebrities, from Paris Hilton to Laeticia Hallyday, have seen their properties go up in smoke.
