The California wildfires of 2025 have caused devastating destruction, displacing millions and destroying countless homes. Amidst this tragedy, The Weeknd has stepped up to provide meaningful support. The Canadian singer has donated $1 million to wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles, as reported by Billboard. This gesture aligns with his longstanding history of philanthropy.
The donation will benefit organizations like the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund. These funds will support first responders and aid affected residents in rebuilding their lives. The Weeknd also postponed the release of his album Hurry Up, Tomorrow and canceled a scheduled Rose Bowl performance in solidarity with those impacted.
“The city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time,” he said. “My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.”
The Weeknd’s past charitable contributions include over $9 million to support Palestinians in Gaza, donations to COVID-19 relief, Black Lives Matter, and $2 million for food aid in Ethiopia. His consistent generosity continues to inspire and make a global impact.
