Hollywood A-Listers are set to collaborate with some of the net’s biggest content creators for LA Wildfire Relief LIVE, a charity live stream benefiting victims of the Los Angeles fires.

In January 2025, wildfires ripped through Los Angeles county, destroying thousands of structures and forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to evacuate.

The destructive fires leveled entire neighborhoods and killed a total of 27 people, becoming one of the costliest blazes in California’s history.

To help with rebuilding efforts, a series of Hollywood stars and high-profile influencers are banding together to provide relief for victims of the wildfires.
