The west-side Palisades Fire has become the most destructive in LA history, according to the Associated Press. The blaze, fanned by strong, gusting winds has led to the evacuation of more than 30,000 people as it has grown to 15,800 acres with zero containment, per CBS News. Meanwhile, the east-side Eaton Fire has caused five deaths so far and doubled in size over the past day, currently burning 10,600 acres near Pasadena. As a result, more than 52,000 residents have evacuated their homes.

In light of the tragedy, Ariana Grande took to her Instagram Stories to write, “My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating LA fires, sharing some organizations to support who are responding to those affected in real time.” She then linked to three organizations: the LAFD Foundation, California Community Foundation and Mutual AID LA Network. She also shared this graphic, with a list of evacuation and animal shelters in the area. The Weeknd shared the same post on his Stories.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish also linked to the Los Angeles Fire Department, writing on her Stories of her hometown, “What’s going on in LA right now is sooo scary and devastating.”

Shawn Mendes shared the same resources, adding, “I’m sorry to those who have lost their homes already, I can’t imagine. As long as you are safe out there.”

Vanessa Hudgens urged fans to “keep an eye out for evacuation zones,” adding, “This is so scary. My heart breaks for everyone affected. Thank you to all the firefighters out there risking their lives.”

Paris Hilton wrote that she’s “praying for LA/California,” adding a graphic that promotes organizations including American Red Cross, Baby2Baby, Calfund Wildfire Recovery Fund, California Fire Foundation Wildfire and Disaster Relief Fund, LA Food Bank and Watch Duty.
