The Game is stepping in to assist those impacted by the devastating wildfires in his hometown of Los Angeles.
As several massive fires continue to ravage parts of the city, the Compton rapper announced on Wednesday (January 8) that he is working to provide safety and shelter for families who have been forced to evacuate their homes.
“Me & [talent manager Travis Wilson] are helping 10 families effected [sic] by the fires here get into @airbnb for a week free of charge [praying hands emoji],” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.
He then urged those in need to contact Wilson on Instagram, adding: “Must have an identification or drivers license with address in the affected areas.”
A series of intense wildfires broke out across the greater Los Angeles region on Tuesday (January 7), driven by strong winds and dry conditions.
At least five people have died, and over 100,000 individuals have been displaced, as emergency services struggle to manage the blazes with limited resources and dwindling water supplies.
More than 2,000 structures have been destroyed across over 27,000 acres, making these the most destructive fires in L.A.’s history. The total damage is expected to exceed $50 billion.
As of Thursday morning (January 9), five major fires remain uncontrolled, with the latest one starting on Wednesday evening in the Hollywood Hills.
Fellow Californian Snoop Dogg also expressed his sympathy on social media, sharing an image on Instagram with the words: “Pray for Los Angeles. Lord, deliver the City of Angels.”
Missy Elliott posted on her Instagram Stories: “My prayers go out to those in LA. Seeing the videos and pictures are devastating so you can only imagine those people who are going through it. So many prayers through such a difficult time.”
In a somewhat unusual post on X, Meek Mill wrote: “Prayers to la. I never knew about fire trauma until my house caught on fire…. I was smelling fire in my sleep jumping up for 3 years… I didnt know that type of trauma existed, so I was just dealing with it as a kid!”
