Josh Brolin, Ben Schwartz, Jean Smart, Ke Huy Quan, and many more actors, musicians, comedians, and content creators are set to participate in LA Wildfire Relief LIVE, a livestreamed telethon event in support of wildfire recovery efforts.
Broadcasting live from Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills on Friday, January 24, the show will air across multiple YouTube and Twitch channels, with additional talent participation from locations around the globe. On that list are comedians and content creators Rhett & Link, who will chime in from Park City, Utah as the 2025 Sundance Film Festival kicks off.
A partnership between interactive fundraising platform Tiltify and organizations including Real Good Touring, WCPG, and CMPS, the event will see funds distributed through the Tiltify Impact Fund to the likes of the LAFD Wildfire Emergency Fund, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen, Baby2Baby, and CORE. Others participating include actors Edwin Hodge, Janina Gavankar, Mehcad Brooks, Jimmy Akingbola, Dante Basco, Rob Reiner, Ricky Whittle, Soleil Moon Frye and Garcelle Beauvais; musicians such as Ryan Cabrera, Walk the Moon’s Nick Petricca, Shannon K, and Constantine Maroulis; and content creators like Markiplier, Ethan Nestor, Imane “Pokimane” Anys, Arin Hanson, The Try Guys, Nihaachuu, Ranboo, Pointcrow, Peachjars, Amy Nelson, and Shubble.
“By uniting the creator community along with TV, music, and film celebrities in a modern-day telethon, we hope to support the heroes battling the blazes and aid the communities beginning the challenging process of healing and rebuilding,” said Tiltify CEO Michael Wasserman.
Ahead of the broadcast, LA Wildfire Relief LIVE has raised nearly $350,000, with $100,000 donation made by YouTuber Sean ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin. Already, tennis star Taylor Fritz has also gotten involved, donating his first round prize money from the Australian Open to the effort.
According to the latest reports, the Los Angeles wildfires have burned through more than 40,000 acres of land, with 12,000 structures destroyed and more than two dozen fatalities confirmed. For more information on Tiltify’s LA Wildfire Relief Campaign, and to donate, hit the link.
