Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Paris Hilton’s Malibu house may have been destroyed by the Los Angeles fires, but that hasn’t kept her from helping others.

The pop culture mogul announced Tuesday that her non-profit, 11:11 Media Impact, raised $800,000 in emergency relief funds in 72 hours. $150,000 has already been granted to GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund to provide 150 Altadena families with immediate cash assistance. “After meeting with people impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires, I heard heartbreaking stories of loss but also inspiring resilience.

My goal is to help as many as I can as quickly as possible, which is why I’m making a $150,000 grant to the GoFundMe Wildfire Relief Fund, providing direct cash assistance,” Hilton said in a statement to Variety. “Hundreds of families will receive this assistance immediately ensuring they can address their needs and begin to rebuild their lives today.

My heart is with everyone affected by this devastating situation, and my team and I at 11:11 Media Impact will continue to show up.” Hilton has amplified several non-profits over the weekend by using social media to highlight their work.
