Disney Pledges $15M for Los Angeles Wildfire Relief

The Walt Disney Company has pledged $15 million to support relief and rebuilding efforts amid the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have destroyed thousands of structures. The funds will be directed towards organizations such as the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation to aid on-ground services. Disney CEO Bob Iger emphasized the company's commitment to supporting the community and its employees affected by the fires. Paramount Global has also announced a $1 million donation to similar efforts, highlighting the entertainment industry's contribution to the recovery process. The fires, among the most destructive in California's history, have led to significant economic damage and loss of life, with ongoing efforts to contain them. As the region faces continuous threats from Santa Ana winds, more evacuation orders and safety measures are in place.
