A benefit concert is being organised to fundraiser for victims of the LA wildfires.

The event is being organised by Live Nation, and will be held at the Intuit Dome in downtown LA wildfires on the 30th of January.

The show will put a focus on wildfire recovery, “raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”

At time of writing, an estimated 24 lives have been claimed, more than 9,000 structures have been destroyed, and more than 30,000 residents have been told to evacuate their homes.

Celebrities such as Anthony Hopkins, James Woods, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton and Mark Hamill have had their homes reduced to rubble.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the LA wildfires are already one of the costliest natural disasters in the country’s history, with damages estimated to a total $57 billion.

No lineup or ticket info has been released yet for FireAid, but with the event set to take place 2 days before the Grammys, there is already growing speculation that artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift or Kendrick Lamar could be part of the line-up for the benefit concert.
