    FireAid benefit concert features star power to help Los Angeles fire victims

    Published on

    The FireAid benefit concert, the one-night-only event bringing together 27 musicians, was held Thursday night to help fund efforts to rebuild communities impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

    Performances took place at two Los Angeles venues, the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum.

    The concert was streamed across multiple platforms, including for free on CBS News 24/7, available on CBSNews.com, the CBS News app and Paramount+. Select AMC Theatres will also host screenings.

    The wildfires in the L.A. area that started on Jan. 7 killed at least 29 people as they tore through tens of thousands of acres and burned down entire communities. The hardest hit areas included Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Earlier this week, city officials said the clean-up and rebuilding process was underway.

    Contributions made to FireAid “will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation and will be distributed for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California,” organizers said.

    How to help fire victims
