Swift’s heartfelt note on LA wildfires

On Thursday, Swift took to Instagram to speak out on the wildfires ravaging the city. In her story, she wrote, “The fires in California have devastated so many families, and it’s been heartbreaking to see the stories unfold.” She continued, “So much suffering, loss and destruction. As so many embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organisations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild,” as reported by Page Six.

The Lover singer then shared a list of charities helping to aid the victims of the wildfires, including the California Community Foundation Fund, Greater Los Angeles Education Relief, Habitat for Humanity, MusiCares and others. She concluded with, “These are the organizations I’ve donated to. If you feel compelled or able to donate, please do.”

Update on Swift’s LA home amid wildfires

Swift owns a home in LA which is located in Beverly Hills and so far has not been touched by any of the fires. She bought the 10,982-square-foot home in 2015 for $25 million and was not in California when the crisis began on Tuesday morning. She has been spending most of her time recently between Kansas City and New York.

The destructive wildfires have left hundreds of people, including Swift’s close friends Keleigh and Miles Teller, without homes. In response, several other celebrities have also stepped up to aid in the recovery efforts. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis made a substantial contribution, donating $1 million to establish a fund to support the community, while Bethenny Frankel provided essential relief by sending “cash cards” and “critical supplies” to those impacted by the disaster.
