California.
Los Angeles.
Altadena.
The Palisades we are in this together.
[crowd cheering]
Hi everybody, I'm Billy Crystal.
[crowd cheering]
Hello L.A.
and everybody watching around the world, watching us.
Welcome to FireAid. We are gathered here at the Kia Forum,
[crowd cheering]
which is Steve Ballmer's guesthouse.
And later we will be over at the fantastic Intuit Dome.
Our goal is simple tonight, to raise more money
than the Dodgers spent on free agents.
Now, all kidding aside, when you donate to
FireAidLA.org during tonight's broadcast,
Steve Ballmer and his wonderful wife Connie will match it dollar for dollar.
[crowd cheering]
And...
And just as I was walking on stage, I got word that our first big donation
of the night has come in.
It's from this band called U2.
[crowd cheering]
And it's for one million dollars.
Which really means two million dollars, thanks to Connie and Steve.
And at home, you too can help us by calling in.
We have an amazing evening of dozens of incredible performers
coming together to help those in need.
And also, you'll be hearing from a number of people who were
tragically affected by these fires.
And I am one of them.
[man in crowd] We love you Billy!
These... Shh.
These were the clothes I wore when I fled my house with my wife Janice,
like so many of us did on January 7th.
It was all I had. Wore it for a week, plus an N95 mask.
I looked like an evacuee or someone who had just robbed a 7 Eleven.
But everybody's been so supportive.
This young girl, she must have been 20, came up to me,
and said she understood my pain because she had lost TikTok for a day.
[crowd laughing]
Everybody has a thing.
I wanted to be here tonight because a little over 23 years ago,
and just a month after 9 11, I was asked to welcome the audience to the concert
for New York at Madison Square Garden.
[crowd cheering]
With...
With Ground Zero still smoldering, I walked out to a grieving audience,
holding up signs with pictures of their loved ones on them, asking,
Have you seen them?
It was all I could do to get my first words out.
And tonight, here I am, talking to all of you in pain.
But now, I'm also one of the hurting thousands,
asking, Have you seen my school?
Have you seen my church? Have you seen my house?
Have you seen my town?
Have you seen the 29 people who lost their lives?
Have you seen them?
On that night in 2001, we were mourning the loss of hundreds of firefighters
and police officers and first responders.
Tonight, we are here together to thank them,
and all those who run towards danger, while we run to shelter and safety.
[crowd cheering]
When...
When we were finally able to get back to our house in the Palisades, which we
had lived in for 46 years, like thousands of you, our house now looked like this.
I stepped onto the grounds, and I fell to my knees, and I wailed.
I had not cried like that since I was 15 years old, and I was told
that my father had just died.
I remember looking in the mirror back then,
with my whole life ahead of me, thinking,
What is my life going to be like without him?
Now, folks, I'm 76 years old, without a mirror,
and a lot less life to ponder, thinking,
What is my life going to be like without our home?
And then I heard screams from my daughters,
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.
And my girls, Jenny and Lindsay, brought over this rock from a burnt out garden.
Years ago, I bought these rocks with one word engraved in them,
and placed them around our gardens.
They were welcome, patience, dream,
and the one I held in my hands, laughter.
I learned about the power of laughter back in 1963.
In our shiver house, sitting alone, sad little guy, I heard big laughs coming
from the family in our modest living room, and I came down the hall to see my dear
Uncle Burn in the midst of his sorrow, telling stories, and doing magic tricks,
and making the entire family laugh.
And it changed my life.
I knew at that moment, even in your worst pain, folks, it's okay.
And it's important to laugh. And I dedicated...
[crowd cheering]
And I dedicated my life then, and my career then has been able to do
that throughout very difficult times, and I'm proud of that.
But when I held that rock in my hands, this was the only thing that was left.
I felt there was a message from that 15 year old me saying, it's gonna be okay.
And it will be okay.
With your help around the country, and here in the room, we'll laugh again,
we're gonna listen to music again, and we will be okay.
So tonight, from Altadena, to Malibu, to the
Pacific Palisades, let's show the world who we are.
We're Los Angeles, one city, one heart, LA Strong!
[crowd cheering]
And now, please welcome, Alanis Morissette.

And LA is a colorful, wild place.

Two major wildfires are carving a path of destruction through Southern California.
- Embers were just flying out of control. - It's heartbreaking to see all of this.
Everything is just burned out. Everything is gone.
I woke up at 3am in the morning and my room was filled with smoke.
I knew then that I couldn't stay there.
I saw the fires burning, but I didn't know how bad it was in my area.
And it wasn't until I was able to get up there and see for myself
everything that's just gone.
I'm standing on what was my front porch of my home.
Everything behind me, my whole house, everything gone.
And this is devastating.
Everything on my block is just gone. I'm basically starting at zero.
I wish it was just a terrible dream, a nightmare, but this is real.
Everything I have on right now has been provided for me by somebody else.
Everything down to my underwear and t shirts.
I like to think that we are going to come back stronger and better than before.
You know, I'm a carpenter and I want to help rebuild Altadena,
get those homes back up and that sense of community to be felt again.
There's still bright days ahead and I look forward to that.
You can hear California in every note of his music.
Please welcome Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals.
One, two, three.

Firefighters are now fighting five wildfires at once.
The first night, we were up in Palisades, and the chief just tells you, here's your
neighborhood, go find something to save.
I've been in the fire service 30 years now.
For me, it's in my blood.
This is by far the worst fire disaster that I've witnessed.
It was just a perfect storm of events. The fires, they were unstoppable.
To see all the damage that's happened, neighborhoods wiped out,
people have lost everything.
You definitely start feeling defeated.
Firefighters desperately have been trying to stop those flames
from crossing over the ridge and heading to other major population centers.
Mandeville Canyon, hundreds of houses were threatened within an instant.
And we put so many resources up there.
Aircraft and helicopters and big, giant DC 10s.
Get them, brothers!
It was six hours of a firefight in this canyon, and we lost one home only.
The call to save Los Angeles has been answered by firefighters and other first
responders from all over the country.
It's just people who have a heart to give service back to the people,
and those are your firefighters, and, you know, they want to give back
to the community and just help people.
We all owe so much to the fire department for what they do.
- These guys are heroes. - God bless them.
You know, people come up to us nonstop and they thank us.
For me, it's important to thank Water and Power, LAPD, the National Guard.
All those people are away from their family just as long as us.
Thank them, too.
Disasters bring communities together. Everybody in L.A.
and Southern California and across America, and even the world, they
come together to help in time of need.
And that ultimately shows what humanity is about.

[reporter] Family sanctuaries for nearly 50 years reduced to ash.
[female reporter] It's been a period of
unimaginable change for the Williams family.
The Eaton wildfire destroyed generations of their family's Altadena homes.
[woman] When we go outside, it's just dark swirling.
We knew it was bad.
Four members of the family lost their homes entirely.
Despite the long road ahead, they're still finding the light
in even the darkest of moments.

Yeah.

I'm Dr. Yechelle Williams, and I'm here with my sisters, Crystal, Kim,
Dr. Ellen, and my mother, Matilda.
We are the Williams family from Altadena.
At about 3.30 in the morning, the warning hit our phones.
Fast moving fire, evacuate now. And we did.
We grabbed what we could. Pictures, our grandmother's special clock.
We collected our father's ashes and his flag from serving in the military.
We live close to one another, and thank goodness we all made it out.
Including our 47 year old parrot, Hank.
Among the five of us standing here, we lost four homes.
And we're struggling to find places to live.
We have ties to the Altadena community going back to 1948
when our grandmother brought her home.
[crowd cheering]
We love our community.
And right now, we are all grieving immense loss.
But there's a sign in the ruins at my mother's home.
Everything was destroyed except her front door.
It stands at this hour.
It's a sign because that door was always open.
That door was the gateway to love.
[crowd cheers]
While many of us live elsewhere right now,
we are bound together to one another,
healed by one another because of family and faith.
And it's what gives us strength to be here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
The next band is from L.A.
two of the members and their parents also sadly lost their homes in Altadena.
Please help me welcome, Dawes.

We'd like to welcome to the stage. Stephen Stills with Mike Campbell.
["For What it's Worth" by Stephen Stills]
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop,
Hey...
What's that sound? Everybody look what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn Ain't nobody right.
If everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look What's going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people standing out Tryin' to hear the street cut.
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
-Hey, what's that sound -Everybody look what's going down
Going down.
Hey
[inaudible]
[continues inaudibly]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down
Stop hey what's that sound everybody look what's going down
Time to take it down
Everybody look what's going down
[guitar solo]
We've got to stop.
Hey, what's that sound?
[vocalizing]
And now let's add to that.
Let's welcome to the stage, Mr. Graham Nash.
So pleased to be here.
Particularly with the great band Dawes.
And my partner for so many years, Stephen Stills.
You know, there's a very large community here in Los Angeles
made up of many, many musicians.
And whenever Los Angeles gets into trouble, the musicians are right there.
And I'm proud to be one of them.

Take care of yourself! Take care of one another!
[reporter] Three dog trapped in their house
alone as the Palisades fire closed in.
I was in San Francisco at the time. My wife, Six, was traveling in Asia.
They had someone taking care of their dogs in the Pacific Palisades.
But the dog sitter got stuck.
A fire in the vicinity prevented her from getting to their home.
Jonathan Vigliotti was reporting from the Pacific Palisades Charter High School.
We live right up the street from there.
This neighborhood under threat right now. At least five homes destroyed.
I was in the Palisades showing what was going on within the disaster zone.
And I posted something on social media. And Andrea's wife saw that post.
And they connected with us. And said, we've got dogs in our house.
Can you go in, break in, and get them?
When we got to the street, the houses on the other side of the street
from Andrea's were already on fire.
We looked at each other and we just knew, we have to take action,
otherwise those dogs will not survive.
We grabbed a chair, we smashed through the window, and then it
was just all action, no thinking.
- Hey guys, where are you? - There was one right by the door.
There was another hiding under a bed.
And then the third was growling and did not want to be caught.
Come on, we gotta go.
- Good boy, let's go. - Yeah, you are so funny.
I understand.
And by the time we got the last dog into the car, there were embers
starting to ignite Andrea's home.
- Okay, let's go. - Then Andrea's house burned down.
I saw my phone ringing. It was Jonathan.
The first thing he said was, we got the dogs.
When we finally reunited Andrea with his dogs, he immediately broke down crying.
We did too.
All the adrenaline and fear and anxiety and hope just suddenly released
and we both just broke down in tears.
That's one of the most life affirming moments.
You know, we don't have kids, but they feel like a part of you.
But I was thinking immediately about all the other people who could not
get back into their homes at the time,
who were outside of the evacuation zone and could not gain access,
who weren't able to have those reunions.
In tragedy, we oftentimes find our best version of ourselves.
And I think that is on clear display here in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles! Help me welcome a true powerhouse!
Pink.

From the bottom of our hearts.
I'm very honored to be here on a night like tonight and I'm very grateful that
you all would want to be here to celebrate generosity and love and kindness.
I hope we can continue to gather in that spirit.
If you're hurting, I'm hurting with you. My heart is with you.
I'm going to keep my feet on the ground tonight.
And I'm going to sing a couple of songs that bring me comfort.
And I hope that they do the same for you all.

Hello.
Samuel L. Jackson here.
I'm kicking off the show down the street at the Intuit Dome.
- Are you ready to get this going? - Yeah.
This concert is so big, we had to fill two arenas.
We're all here to watch some incredible music and hold each other up.
The fires were devastating.
But the firefighters in this town, from all over this country,
and even other countries, saved so many lives and so many homes.
We've got hundreds of first responders here in the house.
Let's give them a huge round of applause.
Give it up! Give it up!
Yeah, Yeah!
Yeah!
Give it up, give it up!
Even while they fought for us, some of them lost their homes.
I'd like for you to meet Chien Yu and his wife and their children,
Hudson and Atticus. His wife, Kim.
Thank you, Sam.
We live in Altadena, and I've been in the Pasadena Fire Department for 18 years.
[crowd cheering]
The night of the Eaton Fire, I saw the glow through the trees.
Kim and I got our kids out as soon as we got our orders to evacuate.
After they were safe, I went to work. For 16 hours, I fought the flames.
And they were unlike anything any of us have ever experienced.
When we finally got a break, I immediately went to check on my house.
And it was gone.
A few days later, I started combing through the ashes,
and I found my wedding ring.
[crowd cheering]
I always take it off for work, and I never thought I'd get it back.
But I'm not the only firefighter who lost their home.
But what I keep hearing is this.
We're not going anywhere. We will rebuild.
[crowd cheering]
I believe we will. And we can.
We love our firefighters, and we need to help them right now.
So go to the website and give what you can.
All the money that's raised will go directly to people who need help in the
short term and for the long term effort
to get this city back on its feet.
Now, to kick out the music at the Intuit
Dome is two time rock and roll hall
of famer, and my ex neighbor, Sir Rod.

Hi, everyone Hi, I'm Quinta Brunson.
[crowd cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
The fires all over LA have destroyed homes and schools,
disrupting education for thousands.
They have taken an immeasurable toll on our children, parents,
and the people with one of the most important and toughest jobs in the world.
Teachers. Yeah.
Right now, I'd like you to meet one of them,
a math teacher, Aurora Barboza Flores.
Thank you, Quinta. Good evening, everybody.
It took me 21 years to save for a down payment.
[Quinta] I got you
My hard work paid off.
Five years ago, I purchased my dream home in Altadena.
And I was embraced by the community.
So now I've lost more than my home. I've lost my community, too.
I was so proud to be a homeowner.
So proud to have a place to call my own in this city.
During the fire, it got so windy, I had to evacuate.
I kept hearing about friends and neighbors who lost their homes.
So I borrowed a bike, put on a mask and goggles,
and went to see the house for myself.
The destruction of the fire in Altadena made it look like a war zone.
Power lines down. Homes and cars burnt.
My house on Glen Rose Avenue was gone.
Everything was gone. But I did manage to find one thing.
A dish that I used to keep my jewelry in.
It had an inscription which reads, I think I'll just be happy today.
That's right.
[crowd cheering]
Sometimes that's all we can do.
Even though it's hard, there are moments that get us through.
- Moments like tonight. - That's right.
Everybody, let's thank Aurora and all the teachers out there right now.
[crowd cheering]
Yes.
[crowd continues cheering]
Yes.
Amazing.
Thank you.
So, listen up. Give what you can.
100% of the money given to the fire aid goes to short term relief
and long term efforts to rebuild.
The info is on the screen.
And now, one of the greatest groups of all time,
I can't believe I'm standing next to them.

Thank you so much, LA. How you doing?
We feel so lucky to be in this room with all of you tonight.
I just want to say I grew up in the Palisades
and my heart is with all of my neighbors
and everyone in Altadena.
And we're just so deeply blown away
by and grateful for all the first responders and
all the firefighters who
have put their lives on the line to protect all of us.
And I think that this is just such a
beautiful reflection of what
music does is bring people together in this way.
And I'm just inspired by all of you in this community.
And I love Los Angeles very much.
It is home. So we feel very lucky to be here with you.
And this next song is a song by Counting Crows
and it's a love letter to LA.
It's called A Long December.

The nation's second-largest school district is dealing with damage.
A dozen schools have been destroyed in the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Kids cannot go to school.
Kids, and grown-ups, they don't have anywhere to live.
Now thousands of children across the burn zones are waiting to hear
about when they can return to class.
The principal said maybe Thursday.
Because they still have to clear it, I guess.
- And what grade are you in? - Fifth.
I was born and raised in Altadena and pretty much everything got burned down.
I lost all my Legos, my braille stuff, a computer, a keyboard.
I don't really miss anything I lost. I just miss where we lived.
- We have a nice home, huh? - Yeah.
Make you think of it, huh?
That was our home for the ten years that I've been alive.
It's going to be kind of hard for someone like me to learn a new house.
I can hear better than anyone I know, I think.
Because I can hear a siren from farther away than anyone I know can.
I'm kind of excited for our park to get rebuilt.
Me and my mom went there like almost every day to ride my bike or my scooter.
I love helping people.
Everyone comes together in situations like this and works together.
I just hope that we can build our community bigger and better.
Hello Los Angeles.
I'm Grayson and this is my mom. Terica.
I'm so excited to be here with y'all tonight.
And I want to thank all the artists jumping in to help.
The fire took a lot.
But as I told everyone when we were staying at my uncle's,
when life gives you lemons or burnt houses,
you make lemonade.
To the people of Altadena, we will come back stronger.
Get ready everybody.

Hi everyone I'm name is Tate So, nice to meet you guys.
This is an absolute honor to preform here tonight.
I moved to Los Angeles four years ago.
With a dream to become a musican.
And um...
I feel so lucky and blessed now to call it my home.
Um, it's been a really devastating start of the year.
But I think we can all agree on is how much we come together
has been a magical thing to watch.
And I'm so grateful to just be a part of this.
And for every single person who showed up tonight.
And every artist who performed. So, thank you.

I am from Nashville, Tennessee and it is an honor to be here tonight.
But I think it's important while I'm on this stage
that I sing one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite songwriters about
one of my favorite cities in America.
But it would only be right if I did it with somebody
from Los Angeles, California.
So I would like to bring my big brother,
Mr. Travis Barker out to play the drums tonight.
Travis, what you say?
We play a little song for them Hollywood nights, baby!

Thank you.
I've been on the road for two solid years, and I've just been off
for about three or four weeks, right before the fire started.
I love you!
Thank you. I love you, too.
And I'm going to go a little bit rogue here and actually talk
to you about what happened.
I have something here that I have to read because it's important, but I want you
to know, for the first time in my life,
knowing that I was a full on Pacific
Palisadean woman with an old, beautiful, famous house
that was almost taken from me as a fire came up the hill behind my house.
And I was pretty sure, as they whisked me away, and evacuated me, my least
favorite word now, to another safe place, that when I turned around and looked,
my house would be up in flames.
And due to the fact that my house was wood, because it was built in 38,
it would have set the rest of the whole street on both sides on fire.
So, she stands strong, just like her mom.
And in my opinion, she saved that whole street.
And so, when I look at her now, I have yet to go back inside.
I've just walked around the house and seen it.
And just to go like, you know what, there is a God.
Sometimes when you think that everything is lost, you have to believe.
Even if you're not religious, you have to go, there is a God.
And that God saved that house for me, because without her,
I don't know what I would have done. So, I wanted to share that story with you.
And now, the reason it got saved is because it was a team from Santa Rosa, the
Santa Rosa firefighters that saved her.
And they never gave up, I have to tell you.
Not just on my house, but on the whole side of the whole mountain canyon
that was coming up towards us.
And so, I'd like to dedicate this next song to all of those firefighters.
Because until you really see it happen, you can't believe it.
You just simply cannot believe the bravery of these men.
Captain Dean, especially.
So, I'd like to dedicate this song to them.
It's called Landslide.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm so happy to be here.
To participate in such an incredible, uplifting event.
Can we keep this energy going forever? This is what makes us human.
This is what separates us from the robots.
This is humanity. This is love.
This is kindness.
And I have been so inspired by how quickly our community organized
to help all of our neighbors in need.
It really reminds me that the people have the power.
California, you are such a unique state, and I am so proud.
Are you so proud to be a California girl?
Yes!
Okay, let's go. Let's show them how proud we are.

These dire scenes are playing out all across L.A.
county, but evidence of resilience emerges, neighbors uniting in their own
firefight, banding together.
When you see your next door neighbor's house on fire,
it's really hard not to try to help out.
When the Palisades fire took off, we fought the fires together.
- I had never met Michael. - No.
I met Chris, who was a complete stranger, in front of my house.
I kept on hearing on the news that there was only one way in and one way out.
I got in my car. I found a house.
It was on fire.
I got a garden hose on it until the firefighters came up.
My dad's a 35 year veteran fireman, and I don't know if it was the blood
in him that got to me, but I just wanted to get over there as quickly as I could.
We found a car that was running, and we used that as our fire truck.
He was adamant. I was adamant.
We were not letting this neighborhood go down.
This was something that we were gonna do, and we were gonna...
We're gonna do it together. We're gonna do it together.
All night long, going into people's backyards, putting out ember fires.
Without the two of us together, I don't think I could have done it solo.
There's a lot of emotion going on.
I mean, we're gonna be connected forever on this.
Yeah.
We had one night, and this is not our profession.
So I just... to all the firefighters and first responders out there,
you're amazing, and thank you for all the work that you did.
Everybody knows the palaces as a very tight knit community.
This is part of my soul. I've been there since I was a little kid.
This community is strong. It's gonna thrive.
It's gonna come back.

Thank you.
It's not just homes and humans that are being impacted by these fires,
but also innocent animals.
Right over here you can see more people coming.
With their horses.
It's not just about protecting people and property.
Pets also need relief from these fires.
She couldn't get the cat out from under the bed, so she had to make a choice.
But among the tragic destruction, there are glimmers of hope and heroism.
Initially, my dad and I had came up to check on our house and our neighbor's
horse, Sovereignty, helping my neighbors was definitely important to me.
They helped me a lot in my riding career, and I was really worried
about Sovereignty.
He's definitely a spooky horse.
The fire was burning everywhere around, and I was like,
oh, this is not going to be okay.
They had already tried to evacuate Sovereignty, but they
couldn't get him into the trailer.
He was too scared to get in.
And so, once we were up here, I knew the only way to get him down was
to ride him down to the canyon to safety.
I think that way.
My dad was kind of skeptical at first.
I didn't think it was a great idea for us to be driving through all the crazy
terrain, but when Kalinda decides she's doing something,
there's no telling her no.
Sovereignty was really nervous. The fire was burning everywhere around.
A lot of telephone poles down, rocks in the road, traffic coming through really
fast because everybody was getting out.
Every time he got a little spooked, I hopped down and gave him a little comfort
and we walked him through and then got back on, walked as far as we could.
And it was kind of like that the whole time, but I knew
that was the only way to get him down.
We ended up riding Sovereignty 10 miles.
Once I got him to safety, I felt really relieved that he was going to be safe.
Because stuff can be replaced. I don't think animals can.
All right, Intuit Dome. It's time to get on your feet.
For one of hip hop's hottest artists, Lil Baby!

Thank you for showing up LA. Tomorrow and the day after too.
How you guys doing? Good?
Well, I'm Miles Teller. And...
Thank you, guys. First, I just want to give a shout out.
I know there's a lot of first responders here tonight.
There's a lot watching at home so thank you all for keeping us safe.
Thank you.
My wife and I, like so many others living in the Pacific Palisades, lost our home in
the fires and my heart breaks for everyone who's been affected across the city.
Truly my heart goes out to all you guys.
And tonight I'm standing next to someone from the Palisades who has lost a lot
and he's here to share his story with us.
And I actually just found out backstage that we lived on the same street.
This is my neighbor. Please meet Chad Comey.
Thanks Miles.
I lived in the Palisades with my disabled parents.
My dad is blind. My mom's in a wheelchair.
I'm their caregiver.
Our condo had been in the family since 1974 when my grandparents bought it.
We loved our home.
We were one of the last families to leave the area.
When it was time to evacuate, when it was time to evacuate,
I grabbed my neighbor and we carried my mom down five flights of stairs.
[crowd cheering]
My dad was stubborn and stayed behind.
I was super worried about him. I couldn't sleep that night.
He couldn't get out because of the heat and he had to spend the night
in the underground garage.
Thankfully, he survived.
My dad was a special ed teacher and my parents was a teacher, yeah.
And my parents lived on Social Security.
You know it. You know it.
You're living it too. Well, we didn't have insurance.
We lost so much. But we didn't lose everything.
We lost our photographs. But we didn't lose our family memories.
We lost our house. But we didn't lose our home.
We lost our residence. But we didn't lose our resilience.
The Palisades.
This entire city. Los Angeles.
The city I call home. I love you guys.
We will persevere.
Yes, we will. And I wanted to mention one more thing.
I heard that you are a huge Green Day fan. Who's not?
And one of the prized possessions that you lost in the fire was a drumstick
that you caught at one of the concerts.
Yeah.
Well, Green Day's drummer, Trey Cool, heard about that.
And you know what? He's got a little surprise for you.
Where's he at? Hey!
[inaudible off mike dialogue]
Everyone, please go to FireAidLA.org and give what you can.
All of the money raised will go directly to people who need it now.
And towards long term efforts to build the communities back.
And help me out with this.

Good night LA, thank you.
[crowd cheers]
The raw emotion of coming back to nothing.
In Altadena, thousands more families homeless.
That's where I live, and I have nothing.
But with the shoes I have on, everything is gone.
I'll be okay.
Even though I'm 91 years old, I'll start over again.
The day after the fire, we drove up towards my grandma's house.
And as we sort of turned down her street, we saw what was left of her house,
which was just a chimney.
My grandmother's recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
It's been very, very difficult for her to adjust to a new setting.
She's asking, when can I go home?
And I know that none of this makes any sense to her.
I'll hear her just whispering, praying, and just hoping for some sort of semblance
of peace, normalcy, and understanding.
The community has rallied around itself in a way that is, it's just so beautiful.
People who I haven't spoken to since maybe like high school, since middle school,
are checking in with me about my family and helping in any way they can.
Whether it's dropping off water bottles or some pajamas for my grandmother,
so like, she can feel a little bit more comfortable in a strange bed.
LA has shown up for the community.
All of these people are able to set aside their differences and look
at the other person and say, are you okay?
What do you need?
I believe that this is what people can be for each other, should be for each other.
And I would just encourage us to remember how it feels to show up
for our community in this way.
And make it our mission and effort to do that every day.
And next up, we have one of the biggest names in Latin music.
Peso Pluma.
["La Bebe" By Peso Pluma]
In Spanish: Latinos from Los Angeles!
[singing in Spanish]
In Spanish: Thank You L.A. and all my Latinos!
[crowd cheering]
The devastating fires are leaving families without homes,
jobs, and necessities.
But an incredible wave of kindness is bringing hope.
There are firefighters from Mexico and Canada
on the ground to lend their support.
North Texans are answering California's call for help.
As a wildfire disaster deepens, the City of Angels living up to its name.
I'm a primary care physician, board certified to see pediatrics and adults.
And so the idea was to open up a physical space where people could walk in if they
needed a refill of a medication or they wanted to be evaluated for respiratory
conditions that have worsened through the fires or just had general health questions
about what they could do to keep themselves
safe and healthy as the city clears,
as the smoke clears, and as we all kind of rebuild our health and our communities.
I am so grateful to be of service to so many people because our city just
really needs support right now and that's the beautiful thing that's happening.
The people that are coming together right now from every direction, um.
I'm going to cry because it really affected me.
People, I know.
But there's a lot of people that don't know anyone that was affected
and they care too.
And I think that's the most important thing is that everyone's
coming together right now.
We don't need to be superheroes. We don't need to save the world.
But a bunch of small acts of kindness really add up.
We're going to be able to rebuild and stay together as a community.
Seeing the people fight for everything that we have built and banded together
to keep it going and not watch it burn.
That's why we're strong.
As long as we stay together, I think we're going to be okay.
From the first moment I heard her exquisite voice, I became a devotee.
Here she is with her brother,
Finneas LA's very own Billie Eilish
[crowd cheering]
What's going on? Hi, guys.
Thanks for being here. Thank you for having me.
I feel very lucky to be here. This is my brother.
Turn me up.
We're going to do some little acoustic songs.
So they'll be pretty quiet and chill.
So if you want to sit or whatever, you can.

Thank you so much. This is my brother, Finneas, by the way.
I love you, Los Angeles.
I will always fight for you. I love you.
Thank you.
LA will be rebuilt.
For sure.
Right now, we're responding to the emergency.
But then comes the reconstruction.
When we see people who have lost their homes, lost their jobs, their business,
this is when we come together.
It's been a pouring of love.
Being able to see the city come together and help each other.
You know they're not alone.
LA is strong because it's a very resilient,
not just city, but also community.
This is a moment in time that we're going to remember in our city's history.
All of the first and now second responders coming and utilizing every skill that
they have with precision, with urgency, in the name of love for Los Angeles.
People are here because they want to be here.
Regardless of whether they were born or raised here, LA is their home.
And we're really good about coming together when people need help.
I feel like we cut from a different cloth.
Like Kendrick said, you know, Snoop said, like, we all got our definitions
of the cloth, but like, it's cut from LA.
You always treat people how you want to be treated.
We all need help sometimes.
And it's good to know that there are people who will have your back.
I can tell you I'm grateful. And that LA, there's love here.
When we're able to work shoulder to shoulder, I don't think there's anything
that LA can't handle or do.
And we will rebuild in new beautiful ways whenever things like this may happen.
Please give it up for one of the greatest
artists of all time, Stevie Wonder!
I thank you.
For allowing me to be a part of us giving.
In this world today, we have no time for blaming.
We have no time for shaming.
We need to have prayer and come together as a united people of the world.
[audience clapping]
It breaks my heart for those that have lost, not only those who have lost their,
some who have lost their lives.
So we need to pray and thank God for those who are alive and pray for those
who have lost that we will allow, with our giving, to help them to get themselves
back on their feet again.
I love you and I thank God for giving me the gift of song to sing to you.
I want to sing a song that I wrote. It's still so relevant.
Love's in need of love today.

Holy shit.
Hi, I'm Olivia Rodrigo.
Have you had a good night? How can you not have had a good night?
I mean, Stevie and Flea and Sting, three guys with one
name apiece are here. I mean, we needed a good night.
We had a lot of bad nights, but here we are sharing love and music and probably
The Norovirus, but I think it's worth it.
This is what a magical show. What an incredible night.
Thank you to all the artists who volunteered their time
and talent to lift us up
Thanks to the Azov family for making this happen.
Thanks to Steve Ballmer for opening his dome to us
And thanks to those of you watching around the world
This city, for all the things they say about us,
when Hurricane Harvey hit, we were there.
When Katrina devastated New Orleans, we were there.
When Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, we were there.
The people in this city, many of the people in this room,
Helped to raise more than $200 million for other cities hit by natural disasters.
And now we are helping our own. So many people I know.
So many of you, even some of the people who were on stage tonight,
lost their homes, lost everything.
And when you did, we wrapped our arms around each other immediately,
all across Los Angeles, from
Malibu to the Pacific Palisades to Altadena
Warehouses are filled with more donations than most of the centers
could even handle.
To this day, in a lot of places, they have too many volunteers.
They have to turn them away.
This is a tragedy that hurt everyone who lives here,
and it will continue to hurt for many years.
But it's also brought us much closer together.
And I am very grateful, especially for our firefighters.
If you're here, please raise your hands and show yourselves.
Thanks to our firefighters from here in LA, from all over the country,
from Canada and Mexico and our friends around the world.
Thanks to the rescue workers, the first responders.
Raise your hands to the prisoners who risked their lives for $10 a day.
Thanks to the volunteers and the chefs and the teachers and artists
and store owners and charities who've been doing everything they can.
I also want to thank you for being here tonight and for being there tomorrow, too.
This isn't over. We need you.
We need your help. Please make a donation to FireAidLA.org.
100% of the money goes to short term relief and long term efforts to rebuild.
Thank you. And now to close out this beautiful night,
to heal us with her spirit and her talent,
Please give a big, warm, sloppy L.A welcome to Lady Gaga.
[crowd cheering]
I love you so much.
Thank you so much for having me tonight.
All right, let's do this.

Alright.
When I was thinking about what to sing tonight, I thought I wanted
to do something hopeful for you
And I was thinking about my songs and there wasn't anything
that seemed quite right.
So me and my friend Michael,
my fiance, my love,
we wrote this song for you.
It's just for tonight. It's just for you.
I think we all need a lot of things right now.
But I think something we may also need is time.
Time is a healer.
