AceShowbiz - Amid the devastating wildfires sweeping across Los Angeles, Angelina Jolie has once again demonstrated her commitment to humanitarian causes. The former UN special envoy and her 16-year-old son, Knox, were seen at a grocery store in Los Feliz, stocking up on essential supplies for those affected by the fires.
Jolie is housing friends and loved ones displaced by the blazes. "Right now, I'm taking care of people close to me and having them at my house," she said.

Jolie is not alone in her efforts. Jamie Lee Curtis also announced her pledge of $1 million alongside her husband, Christopher Guest, to support wildfire relief efforts. "Our beloved neighborhood is gone. Our home is safe. So many others have lost everything. Help where you can," Curtis urged on Instagram.
Other celebrities, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have also opened their homes to friends and loved ones fleeing the flames. Jennie Garth, known for her role on "Beverly Hills, 90210," found refuge with her ex-husband Peter Facinelli after her Pacific Palisades home was threatened by the fire.
Meanwhile, Sharon Stone and Halle Berry have been using their platforms to encourage donations. Stone, along with her sister and publicist friend, is urging residents to donate clothing, bedding, and other essentials to the Coop, a local store turned distribution center. Halle Berry announced she is "packing up [her] entire closet" for the cause.
Jennifer Garner volunteered to provide meals for first responders and those in need, Kardashian family also helped feed firefighters and Kim Kardashian donated clothes and underwear to victims, while Bill Hader volunteered to cover news with local station.
The scale of the disaster is immense, and the stars are rallying to make a difference. The community's response to the wildfires, including the participation of high-profile celebrities, underscores the urgent need for support and solidarity. As efforts continue to fight the fires and rebuild, the actions of these stars serve as a reminder of the power of coming together in times of crisis.
