In the wake of the catastrophic wildfires devastating Los Angeles, The Walt Disney Company has pledged $15 million to aid initial relief and rebuilding efforts. The funds will support organizations such as the American Red Cross, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, among others.

“As this tragedy continues to unfold, The Walt Disney Company is committed to supporting our community and our employees as we all work together to recover and rebuild from this unbelievable devastation,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger.

He added, “Walt Disney came to Los Angeles with little more than his limitless imagination, and it was here that he chose to make his home, pursue his dreams, and create extraordinary storytelling that means so much to so many people around the world. We are proud to provide assistance to this resilient and vibrant community in this moment of need.”

Paramount Global also extended its support. Co-chiefs Brian Robbins, Chris McCarthy, and George Cheeks announced a $1 million donation to organizations including the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, Red Cross, Direct Relief, World Central Kitchen, and Best Friends Animal Society.

These contributions reflect the entertainment industry’s solidarity with affected communities as they face unprecedented challenges in the wake of the disaster due to LA wildfires.
