Justin Bieber Promises to Help California Wildfire Victims

Justin Bieber plans on using his celebrity status to help those affected by the California wildfires.

In an Instagram video posted on Friday (December 8), the singer-songwriter explained how he is going to get involved — and how others can take part in helping, too. "We are going to get moving on a solution," Justin said, adding that he planned on having a conversation with some of his friends. "Obviously I'm not a fireman but I can use my resources to figure out ways to get some sort of restoration in certain communities."

From there, the pop star included a heartwarming message to those whose lives have been impacted by the devastating natural disaster. "All the families and everyone who are struggling," he said," just know that everything is going to be okay."

Justin then posted an infographic, letting his fans know about donations that were needed and where they could go to bring items locally. The post noted that water was in dire need, along with clothes, bedding, food, and baby products.

CNN reports that the California wildfires have scorched almost 175,000 acres within the week, and have left thousands of people without power, while many others have had to flee their homes. The news outlet adds that the first fatality from the fires has been confirmed this week, when a 70-year-old woman reportedly died from a car crash during evacuation.

In addition to the resources Justin mentioned, you can help the California fire victims in multiple ways, such as donating money online to the American Red Cross or Thomas Fire Fund, and contributing in-person to the Salvation Army and Humane Society. As other outlets have recommended, if you plan on helping locally, please be sure to check that an area is safe before driving, and stay updated on evacuation notices before you travel.
