Since the wildfires started, celebrities and entertainment organisations have pledged millions to help those who have been displaced or lost their homes, including a US$2.5 million ($4 million) contribution from Beyoncé to a newly launched LA Fire Relief Fund created by her charitable foundation, BeyGOOD.

Last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort with a US$1 million ($1.6 million) donation. Thanks to additional contributions, they’ve already distributed US$2 million ($3.2 million) in emergency aid.

The 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place Sunday 2 February at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles – though the Recording Academy has refocused its aim to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.
