Touched by personal stories of anguish and loss from the fires, donors have sent tens of millions of dollars directly to families in Los Angeles via crowdfunding. These competing pleas for generosity have uneven results.

The music superstar announced on Sunday that her charitable foundation would be making a sizeable donation to help families who have lost their homes in the Altadena and Pasadena neighbourhoods of LA.

The superstar singer is donating $1 million to L.A. fire relief. The amount will be spread between LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, and L.A. Regional Food Bank. The news of his donations comes after he canceled his intended album-release concert that was planned for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
