Paris Hilton’s personal loss in the apocalyptic LA fires has ignited her determination to support others in need.
After her Malibu home was burned to ashes in the wildfires, the American socialite donated $100,000 to emergency funds for fire victims.
The mother-of-two wrote: 'My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating fires here in LA. While I've lost my Malibu home, my thoughts are with the countless families who have lost so much more — their homes, cherished keepsakes, the communities they loved, and their sense of stability.
'As a mom, I can't imagine the pain and fear of not having a safe place for your babies so I'm launching an emergency fund through my nonprofit 11:11 Media Impact to support displaced families with young children.
'I'm starting with a personal contribution of $100,000, and will be matching additional dollars raised up to $100,000 more. I am looking for others to donate and match alongside me to do our part!'
The donations will provide short-term housing and hotel stays for families, deliver essentials and supplies to evacuation centres and support local animal shelters.
For the unversed, Hilton lost her home in the Palisades fire, which began on Tuesday, January 7.
