The Weeknd has donated $1 million to relief efforts amid the ongoing wildfire crisis in the Los Angeles area, spreading out his contribution among three different organizations working to aid victims and repair the city.

The relief efforts supported by the “Blinding Lights” singer’s donation are also in partnership with World Food Program USA and The Weeknd’s XO Humanitarian Fund.

The Weeknd’s donation comes just four days after the hitmaker canceled his Rose Bowl concert in L.A. due to the fires affecting Pasadena. The show had been scheduled for Jan. 25, one day after his album Hurry Up Tomorrow had been slated to drop.

The Canadian star also delayed the release of the LP to Jan. 31, writing in a statement at the time that the decisions had been made “out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County.”

“The city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time,” he’d added. “My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.”

Plus, Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff Company are planning a FireAid benefit concert at the Intuit Dome on Jan. 30, unveiling a lineup led by Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani and more stars Thursday (Jan. 16).

Over the past five years, the Weeknd has donated approximately $10 million to charitable causes, ranging from COVID-19 relief and Black Lives Matter to relief from the 2020 harbor explosion in Beirut, Lebanon to nearly $5 million in emergency humanitarian aid in Gaza, among many other efforts.
