Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida are estimated to have caused between $150 and $200 billion in damage, but now some of the biggest stars in America are coming together for a telethon — "Hand in Hand" — to help do something about it.

Dreamed up by Bernard Freeman, a Houston rapper who goes by the stage name Bun B, and his manager Scooter Braun, the Hand in Hand telethon was initially aimed to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Harvey, but then Irma came. Organizers then expanded the telethon.

Actors, athletes and musicians like Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, Tom Hanks and Justin Bieber jumped at the chance to help.

"Neighbor helping neighbor without stopping to think about race, religion or anything else... if we're going to through all the storms that confront us, that's how we're going to do it: together, hand in hand," said Texas native Selena Gomez.
