Selena Gomez has been actively distributing food to victims of the California wildfires.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star shared video clips from a makeshift donation site in a parking lot in Santa Monica, near the Pacific Ocean. She showcased her engagement ring from Benny Blanco while zooming in on the food donated by The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills.
Her fiancé, Blanco, who posted pictures of Selena on-site, wore a face mask and a blue hoodie as he helped with the lunch offerings.
The food was provided to support those displaced by the fires as well as emergency workers battling the flames in areas including Los Angeles and Malibu. She also shared a clip of first responders, captioning it: “Grateful for these individuals.”
Additionally, Selena’s cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty, has contributed to relief efforts by distributing emergency care kits to those affected.
Rare Beauty highlighted the numerous boxes of beauty products they donated in Instagram Stories. A statement on the company’s Instagram explained, “As a brand rooted in Los Angeles, we are heartbroken to see our community impacted by the recent wildfires, which have displaced families and destroyed homes and businesses.”
The statement continued, “We have spent the last few days ensuring the safety of our Los Angeles team and friends affected. We are also collaborating with local organizations for further product donations and volunteer efforts.”
It concluded with gratitude for first responders: “To all the firefighters, first responders, volunteers, and organizations on the ground addressing our community’s ongoing needs, we are forever grateful for your bravery, selflessness, and commitment.”
The statement also noted, “Together, we have assembled emergency care kits with essentials for evacuation centers and have made donations to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and World Central Kitchen, who are providing immediate aid.”
