Celebrities continue to step up their game when it comes to helping those in need in Australia and that list now includes Ellen DeGeneres.
On an episode of
The Ellen Show, Ellen made the announcement that she has launched a
GoFundMe to raise $5 million for the Australian bushfire relief and asked for reviewers help.
Ellen has already donated to the Red Cross, and Australian Wildlife fund and the NSW Rural Fire Service, but now she wants her fans to do the same.
"I love Australia. I love Australia so much I even married an Australian. A few years ago I got to see how incredible Australia is in person. We took our show there, and I fell in love with the country and the people. And right now, Australia needs our help.." Ellen said.
Ellen continues by saying, "Wildfires have been burning for four months and with record-breaking heat. The winds are so strong and it is getting worse. Thousands of people have been displaced. Homes have been burned. Lives have been lost. Nearly half a billion animals have been killed. Nearly a third of their habitat has been destroyed."
It looks like the GoFundMe page is going to reach it's goal of $5 million in no time, raising over $985,000 in 24 hours alone.
