Paris Hilton is proving she’s not just a party girl with a chihuahua in her purse—she’s a fire-fighting, fund-raising powerhouse! After tragically losing her Malibu home (moment of silence for that iconic Barbie mansion), the reality TV icon turned DJ turned philanthropist is on a mission to help Southern California rise from the ashes.
In a whirlwind 72 hours, Paris and her non-profit, 11:11 Media Impact, pulled off an almost magical feat, raking in a jaw-dropping $800,000 for wildfire relief. That’s right, while most of us are still trying to keep up with our New Year’s resolutions, Paris is out here making her fairy godmother dreams come true for fire-affected families.
Straight to the Rescue—$150K at the Speed of Light
Because Paris doesn’t just “sliv,” she delivers, she’s already handed over $150,000 to GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund. The cash will provide instant help to 150 families in Altadena who need to rebuild, regroup, and recharge (and maybe snag a new toaster).
Speaking to Variety, Paris shared, “I met so many people impacted by the wildfires and heard stories that broke my heart but also inspired me. My goal is to help as many people as I can, as fast as I can. So, yeah, I’m writing big checks and helping hundreds of families rebuild today—not someday, TODAY.”
She ended with her signature sparkle: “My team at 11:11 Media Impact and I will keep showing up. That’s hot.”
Social Media Superhero
Of course, Paris isn’t just throwing money at the problem—she’s using her social media clout to spotlight other non-profits. Ever since the fires broke out on January 3, she’s been all over Instagram like wildfire (pun intended), highlighting organizations that are boots-on-the-ground helping people and pets.
Volunteer Mode: Activated
This past weekend, Paris rolled up her sleeves and swapped out her usual sparkly stilettos for something a little more practical. First, she hit up Baby2Baby, where she helped pack essential supplies for families in need (and possibly added her signature rhinestones to the care packages). Then, she swung by the Pasadena Humane Society, where she fostered a fire-displaced pup named ZuZu. Because of course Paris saves humans AND dogs—she’s Paris Hilton, duh.
Paris Hilton isn’t just sliving her best life; she’s sliving for a cause. Who knew the queen of “That’s hot” would also become the queen of hearts? Move over, Cinderella—there’s a new fairy godmother in town.
