As wildfires continue to consume parts of California, Beyoncé has stepped forward to help those affected.
In a Sunday Instagram post, her BeyGood foundation announced that it was giving $2.5 million to aid people adversely impacted by the fires. “The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires,” reads the caption for the post.
This news arrives nearly a week after the wildfires began on Jan. 7. According to the Associated Press, 130,000 people are under evacuation orders for the Los Angeles area fires. As of Wednesday, 450,000 were left without power. At least 24 people are believed to have died. The estimated damage is believed to be over $250 billion.
