Leonardo DiCaprio has donated $1 million to Los Angeles fire relief efforts.

“The Los Angeles wildfires are devastating our city,” the Oscar winner wrote in a message on Instagram stories. “I am committing $1 million in partnership with @rewild’s Rapid Response Program to support both urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts. Initial aid will immediately benefit the LA Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation, Pasadena Humane Society and SoCal Fire Fund – organizations providing much-needed resources to our first responders and firefighters, and the people, animals and communities who need it most.”

DiCaprio, who grew up in SoCal, also posted links to each of the organizations to urge others to donate.
