After their own Malibu home burned down due to the devastating Woolsey Fire raging through California, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth made a generous donation to the Malibu restoration project.
A Cyrus representative told ET in a statement on Tuesday that the donation will be made through Cyrus’ Happy Hippie Foundation that focuses on youth homelessness — particularly among LGBTQ youth — and other populations.
“Miley and Liam lost their home but are very grateful to be safe along with their animals!” according to the statement. “Their community and state are very special to them and they want to give back to the place that has created so many beautiful memories for themselves and others. They are donating $500,000 to The Malibu Foundation through Miley’s charity, Happy Hippie, in hopes to restore Malibu’s magic.”
“These funds will be used for those in financial need, emergency relief assistance, community rebuilding, wildfire prevention and climate change resilience,” the statement continued. “Those looking to get involved your time, support and donations are greatly appreciated.”
Hemsworth also tweeted a shocking phot of what was once his Malibu home with Cyrus, which has now been reduced to ash and rubble.
“It’s been a heartbreaking few days,” Hemsworth wrote. “This is what’s left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires. To help: http://themalibufoundation.org & @happyhippiefdn.”
Cyrus also tweeted about the Woolsey Fire, expressing her gratitude that both Hemsworth and her animals were alright despite their home being destroyed.
“Completely devastated by the fires affecting my community,” Cyrus wrote. “I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now.”
