Hollywood star Leonardo Di Caprio is donating $1 million to support “urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts” in the wake of the catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires.

The Oscar-winning actor and environmentalist made a pledge in collaboration with his organisation Re:wild and its rapid response program, after at least 25 people were killed and thousands of homes destroyed in the Californian disaster.
