Taylor Swift issued a heartfelt statement on the \u201cheartbreaking\u201d Los Angeles fires, revealing she donated an undisclosed amount in relief and encouraged her fans to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fires in California have devastated so many families, and it\u2019s been heartbreaking to see the stories unfold,\u201d the \u201cFortnight\u201d singer wrote via an Instagram Story Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much suffering, loss and destruction,\u201d she lamented. \u201cAs so many embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organizations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift, 35, then listed a series of charities, including the California Community Foundation Fund, Greater Los Angeles Education Relief, Habitat for Humanity, MusiCares and others.<\/p>\n

She concluded, \u201cThese are the organizations I\u2019ve donated to. If you feel compelled or able to donate, please do.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>While Swift, 35, has a home in Beverly Hills, the various fires\u00a0did not reach her property<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swift\u00a0purchased the 10,982-square-foot home<\/a>\u00a0for $25 million in 2015. However, she was likely not in California when the fires broke out last Tuesday morning as she has been spending most of her time between Kansas City, Mo., and New York.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, at least\u00a024 people have died<\/a>\u00a0in the fires, which were already deemed the most destructive in Los Angeles history, leveling nearly 2,000 structures.<\/p>\n

The flames, surged by winds up to 100 miles per hour, have scorched more than 30,000 acres of land.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of people\u00a0have lost their homes to the blaze\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 including Swift\u2019s pals Keleigh and Miles Teller.<\/p>\n

However, Swift isn\u2019t the only star contributing to the relief efforts as\u00a0Jamie Lee Curtis also donated $1 million<\/a>\u00a0\u201cto start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bethenny Frankel also\u00a0sent \u201ccash cards\u201d and \u201ccritical supplies\u201d<\/a>\u00a0to those in need.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
