Taylor Swift speaks on ‘heartbreaking’ LA fires, donates to multiple charities: ‘So much suffering, loss and destruction’

Taylor Swift issued a heartfelt statement on the “heartbreaking” Los Angeles fires, revealing she donated an undisclosed amount in relief and encouraged her fans to do the same.

“The fires in California have devastated so many families, and it’s been heartbreaking to see the stories unfold,” the “Fortnight” singer wrote via an Instagram Story Thursday.

“So much suffering, loss and destruction,” she lamented. “As 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.”

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.

She concluded, “These are the organizations I’ve donated to. If you feel compelled or able to donate, please do.”

While Swift, 35, has a home in Beverly Hills, the various fires did not reach her property.

Swift purchased the 10,982-square-foot home for $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.

At the time of publication, at least 24 people have died in the fires, which were already deemed the most destructive in Los Angeles history, leveling nearly 2,000 structures.

The flames, surged by winds up to 100 miles per hour, have scorched more than 30,000 acres of land.

Hundreds of people have lost their homes to the blaze — including Swift’s pals Keleigh and Miles Teller.

However, Swift isn’t the only star contributing to the relief efforts as Jamie Lee Curtis also donated $1 million “to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there.”

Bethenny Frankel also sent “cash cards” and “critical supplies” to those in need.
