Paris Hilton’s Nonprofit Raises $800K For L.A. Wildfire Relief Efforts in 72 Hours: ‘This Community Is Incredible’
The reality TV star and media personality lost her Malibu home in the devastating Palisades Fire last week.
Just 72 hours after launching an emergency fund to support families who’ve lost their homes in the Los Angeles wildfires, Paris Hilton announced on X on Tuesday (Jan. 14) that her 11:11 Media Impact nonprofit has raised $800,000 for relief efforts. “Thank you. This community is incredible,” she wrote. “Help me reach my goal to continue supporting those impacted by wildfires in LA.” Click here to support the fund.
Last week, Hilton revealed that she’d lost her home in Malibu, posting video of the burned-out shell of her family’s house. “This house wasn’t just a place to live— It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family,” she wrote. “It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner. To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words.”
Days later, she said as a mom of two she could not imagine the “pain and fear of not having a safe place for your babies,” in announcing the fund to support displaced families with young children. She pledged at the time to match the first $100K and then personally contribute $100K to the effort that will help families through the emergency relief organization CORE, including short-term housing and hotel stays for displaced families, as well as supporting local animal shelters.
Hilton also chronicled her volunteer work at Baby2Baby and the Pasadena Humane Society this weekend. At the latter, she agreed to foster a little dog named Zuzu. “As an animal lover, I am heartbroken by those who have lost their furry friends or have had to give them up due to being displaced,” Hilton wrote. “
