The Weeknd Supports LA Wildfire Victims With $1M Donation

The Weeknd has pledged $1 million to support relief efforts amid Los Angeles’ ongoing wildfire crisis.

Announced on Friday (Jan. 17), the Canadian singer distributed the donation across three organizations — LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund and LA Regional Food Bank — focused on helping victims, firefighters and rebuilding the city.

The Weeknd’s philanthropic efforts came in partnership with World Food Program USA and his XO Humanitarian Fund.

To date, the Eaton and Palisades fires have resulted in at least 27 deaths. The latter has burned over 23,000 acres and destroyed over 5,000 structures, at 31% containment at the time of this writing.
