Selena Gomez hands out food to firefighters with Benny Blanco as she is ‘devastated’ by LA fire tragedy

Selena Gomez has been busy handing out food to victims of the California wildfires.

The Only Murders In The Building star shared video footage from a makeshift donation section in a parking lot in the Santa Monica area near the Pacific Ocean.

She flashed her engagement ring from Benny Blanco as she zoomed in on the food from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. 

Her future husband Blanco – who shared pH๏τos of his lady love on the scene – wore a face mask and a blue hoodie as he worked near the layout of lunch offerings. 

The food was donated to feed those who have been displaced by the fires as well as the emergency workers who have been battling the flames in areas including Los Angeles and Malibu.

She added a clip of first responders and added the caption: ‘Grateful for these individuals.’

Selena’s cosmetics company Rare Beauty has also made donations to relief efforts and has been distributing emergency care kits to those affected.

‘We continue to support the Rare Impact Fund’s non-profit partners, providing mental health support to young people—ensuring that now, more than ever, they have the resources they need.

‘We know this will be a long journey of healing and grieving for the place we call home, so we encourage you to keep the momentum in supporting our community to rebuild.’

The brand’s efforts have been mirrored by Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness brand Goop, which is also making donations to charity organisations as well as organising H๏τ meals for emergency workers and care packages for fire victims.

In a newsletter sent to Goop subscribers, Gwyneth wrote: ‘Los Angeles … I have been searching for words and failing, typing and deleting.

‘The loss is incalculable. Twenty-four people. Over twelve thousand structures. Tens of thousands displaced. That is what we can count so far, but there is so much we cannot measure … ‘ …

‘As for Goop, we have committed to more than $2M worth of donations of products to charitable organizations including Baby2Baby, Altadena Girls, and various local charities through centralized distribution resources.
