‘The Los Angeles wildfires are devastating our city,’ the A-lister, 50, said Wednesday on Instagram Stories. ‘I am committing $1 million in partnership with @rewild’s Rapid Response Program to support both urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts.’

The Los Angeles native listed a series of organizations that his donation was earmarked toward.

‘Initial aid will immediately benefit the LA Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation, Pasadena Humane Society and SoCal Fire Fund – organizations providing much-needed resources to our first responders and firefighters, and the people, animals and communities who need it most,’ DiCaprio said.

The Oscar-winning actor is the latest in a list of famous people who have gone into their own pockets to help amid the devastating wildfires.
