    Warner Bros. donates $15M to LA wildfire relief

    What's the story

    Warner Bros. Discovery has announced a $15 million donation to help Los Angeles combat the raging wildfires and rebuild.

    The company is the latest to join the effort after Sony pledged $5 million and Amazon committed $10 million.

    Actor Eva Longoria also donated $1 million from the Jeff Bezos Courage and Civility Award she received last March.

    Company statement

    'Tragic to see the impact of devastating fires...'

    A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Discovery said they were concerned about the wildfires' impact on Southern California.

    "It is tragic to see the impact the devastating fires continue to have on the Southern California region," they said.

    They also confirmed their $15 million pledge would go toward immediate response and rebuilding efforts in LA County.

    Employee aid

    Warner Bros. Discovery is also supporting affected employees

    Along with the monetary donation, Warner Bros. Discovery is also extending support to more than 1,000 of its employees impacted by the wildfires.

    The company is reportedly paying for hotel rooms and temporary housing, rental cars, meals, and counseling services.

    They are also setting up an onsite emergency relief center to further aid their staff amid this crisis.

    Ongoing crisis

    LA wildfires continue to rage, containment efforts underway

    The wildfires in LA County remain rampant, especially in regions like the Pacific Palisades which is only at 14% containment.

    The Palisades Fire, which first struck the neighborhood west of downtown Los Angeles last Tuesday, is now the most destructive in the city's history.

    Dry conditions and intense Santa Ana winds have worsened these fires.
