The FireAid benefit concerts have raised over $100 million for wildfire relief in Los Angeles, with more than 50 million viewers tuning in across 28 platforms. The event, featuring Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Stevie Nicks, aims to support both immediate relief efforts and long-term recovery.
The star-studded FireAid benefit concerts have generated over $100 million to aid communities devastated by the Los Angeles wildfires, organizers announced on Tuesday (February 4).
Held at two major venues in Inglewood, the concerts featured performances from over 30 top artists, including Lady Gaga, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and No Doubt. Viewers from around the world donated through ticket sales, sponsorships, and merchandise purchases, with the event streaming across 28 platforms.
The funds will be allocated to support both short-term relief efforts and long-term recovery, with a committee of philanthropic leaders overseeing the distribution.
In early January, fast-moving wildfires swept through Altadena and Pacific Palisades, killing 29 people and destroying entire neighborhoods. Thousands were forced to evacuate as homes, businesses, and infrastructure were reduced to ashes.
FireAid organizers confirmed that donations are still open, urging the public to contribute towards rebuilding efforts. The Grammy Awards also promoted FireAid, raising an additional $9 million during its live telecast.
With more than $24 million raised through MusiCares and other Grammy-related events, FireAid continues to channel funds toward housing, medical aid, and disaster relief programs for affected families.
