DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith, Brijean, Fat Tony, and more appeal for donations amid California wildfires

Millions of California residents have been devastated by fast-moving wildfires that have erased entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles and across Southern California. The New York Times reports that at least five people have been killed in the blazes, with hundreds of thousands under mandatory evacuation orders. Among those currently seeking aid are a number of musicians who have lost their homes and are looking to find a new place to live or repair the damage to their property.

Live shows, including a Rod Wave concert at Intuit Dome and a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, have also been canceled due to safety concerns.

Below, find a running list of musicians affected, and how you can help them. You can also donate to LAFD Foundation, the Los Angeles Fire Department, California Community Foundation, and Mutual AID LA Network among other organizations helping those affected by the fires.

A GoFundMe page has been launched on behalf of Zachary Cole Smith, the frontman of indie rock band DIIV. Posted by a friend of Smith's, the page states that he was forced to evacuate his home this week alongside his pregnant wife and two-year-old son. Smith has also lost his car, musical equipment, and other possessions to the fire.

In an update shared on Thursday after the appeal passed its initial goal of $30,000, Smith wrote: “The depth of kindness we have experienced today from our friends, our family, our neighbors, fellow parents, fellow [A]ltadena residents, and complete strangers has been truly unbelievable. we are just one of many, many families who have lost their homes today. some of the most profound kindness we’ve experienced today has been from other families who lost their homes as well. we are not alone, which has brought us a lot of sadness but also a strange sense of comfort and community.”

Rapper Fat Tony is also raising funds after his Altadena home went up in flames. “I’m not the only one suffering through this moment and feel for everyone in our city dealing with loss,” he wrote on his GoFundMe page. His campaign has passed $20,000 with further donations being forwarded to the Pasadena Humane Society.
