[cheers and applause]

[indistinct remark]

Hi, everybody, I'm Billy Crystal.

[cheers and applause]

Hello, L.A., and everybody watching around the world,

watching us, welcome to Fire Aid.

We are gathered here at the KIA Forum.

[cheers and applause]

As in Steve Ballmer's guest house.

And later, we'll be over at the fantastic Intuit Dome.

Our goal is simple tonight:

to raise more money than the Dodgers spent on free agents.

[cheers and applause]

Now, all kidding aside,

when you donate to FireAidL.A.org

during tonight's broadcast,

Steve Ballmer and his wonderful wife Connie

will match it dollar for dollar.

[cheers and applause]

And...

And just as I was walking onstage,

I got word that our first big donation of the night has come in.

It's from this band called... U2?

[cheers and applause]

And it's for one million dollars.

[cheers and applause]

Which really means $2 million thanks to Connie and Steve.

And at home, you too can help us by calling in.

We have an amazing evening of dozens of incredible performers

coming together to help those in need.

And also, you'll be hearing from a number of people who are

tragically affected by these fires.

- And I am one of them. - We love you, Billy.

Billy.

These... Shh.

These were the clothes I wore when I fled my house with my wife, Janice,

like so many of us did on January 7th.

It was all I had. Wore it for a week, plus an N95 mask.

I looked like an evacuee or someone who had just robbed a 7-Eleven.

But everybody's been so supportive. This young girl,

she must've been 20, came up to me and said she understood my pain

because she had lost TikTok for a day.

[laughter]

Everybody has a thing.

I wanted to be here tonight because a little over 23 years ago,

in just a month after 9/11,

I was asked to welcome the audience at the concert for New York

at Madison Square Garden with...

with Ground Zero still smoldering.

I walked out to a grieving audience, holding up signs with pictures

of their loved ones on them, asking, have you seen them?

It was all I could do to get my first words out. And tonight,

Here I am, talking to all of you in pain.

And now I'm also one of the hurting thousands asking, have you seen my school?

Have you seen my church?

Have you seen my house? Have you seen my town?

Have you seen the 29 people who lost their lives?

Have you seen them? On that night in 2001,

we were mourning the loss of hundreds of firefighters

and police officers and first responders.

Tonight, we are here together to thank them and all those

who run towards danger while we run to shelter and safety.

[cheers and applause]

When...

When we were finally able to get back to our house in the Palisades,

which we had lived in for 46 years, like thousands of you,

our house now looked like this.

I stepped on to the grounds and I fell to my knees.

And I wailed. I had not cried like that since I was 15 years old

and I was told that my father had just died.

I remember looking in the mirror back then,

with my whole life ahead of me, thinking,

What is my life going to be like without him?

Now, folks, I'm 76 years old,

without a mirror and a lot less life to ponder,

thinking, What is my life going to be like without a home?

Then I heard screams from my daughters: "Dad, Dad, Dad."

And my girls, Jenny and Lindsay, brought over this rock

from our burnt-out garden.

Years ago, I bought these rocks with one word engraved on them

and placed them around our gardens.

They were Welcome, Patience, Dream,

and the one I held in my hands, Laughter.

I learned about the power of laughter back in 1963,

in our shiva house, sitting alone,

sad little guy.

I heard big laughs coming from the family in our modest living room,

and I came down the hall to see my dear uncle Bernard, in the midst of his sorrow,

telling stories and doing magic tricks and making the entire family laugh.

And it changed my life.

I knew at that moment, even in your worst pain, folks,

it's okay and it's important to laugh.

- And I dedicated... - [cheers and applause]

And I dedicated my life then

and my career then has been able to do that

throughout very difficult times, and I'm proud of that.

But when I held that rock in my hands, this was the only thing that was left.

I felt it was a message from a 15-year-old me saying,

It's gonna be okay, and it will be okay.

With your help around the country and here in the room,

we'll laugh again.

We're gonna listen to music again, and we will be okay.

So tonight, from Altadena to Malibu to the Pacific Palisades...

[cheers and applause]

...let's show the world who we are.

We're Los Angeles: one city, one heart.

L.A. strong!

[cheers and applause]

a path of destruction through Southern California.

[man] Ambers were just flying out of control.

[woman] It's heartbreaking to see all of this.

[woman 2] Everything is just burned out. Everything is gone.

I woke up at three in the morning,

and my room was filled with smoke.

I knew then that I couldn't stay there.

I saw the fires burning, but I didn't know how bad it was in my area.

And it wasn't until I was able to get up there and see for myself.

Everything was just gone.

I'm standing on what was my front porch of my home.

Everything behind me-- my whole house, everything gone.

And this is devastating.

Everything on my block is just gone.

I'm basically starting at zero.

I wish it was just a terrible dream, a nightmare.

But this is real.

Everything I have on right now

has been provided for me by somebody else.

Everything, down to my underwear and T-shirts.

I like to think that we are going to come back stronger

and better than before.

You know, I'm a carpenter, and I want to help rebuild Altadena,

get those homes back up, and that sense of community to be felt again.

There's still bright days ahead.

And I look forward to that.

[newscaster] Firefighters are now fighting five wildfires at once.

The first night, we were up in Palisades, and the Chief just tells you,

"Here's your neighborhood. Go find something to save."

I've been in the fire service 30 years now.

For me, it's in my blood.

This is by far the worst fire disaster that I've witnessed.

It was just a perfect storm of events.

The fires, they were unstoppable.

To sell all the damage that's happened.

Neighborhoods wiped out,

people have lost everything.

You definitely start feeling defeated.

Firefighters desperately have been trying to stop

those flames from crossing over the ridge

and heading to other major population centers.

Mandeville Canyon,

hundreds of houses were threatened

within an instant, and we put so many resources up there:

aircraft and helicopters

and big, giant DC-10s.

[man] Get 'em, brothers!

It was six hours of a firefight in this canyon, and we lost one home.

The call to save Los Angeles has been answered

by firefighters and other first responders from all over the country.

It's just people who have heart to give service back

to the people, and these are your firefighters, and, you know, they want to give

back to the community and just help people.

We all owe so much to the fire department for what they do.

- These guys are heroes. - God bless.

You know, people come up to us nonstop and they thank us.

For me, it's important to thank Water and Power,

LAPD, the National Guard.

All those people are away from their family just as long as us.

Thank them too.

Disasters bring communities together.

Everybody in L.A. and Southern California and across America

and even the world, they come together to help in time of need.

And that ultimately shows what humanity is about.

[reporter] Family sanctuaries for nearly 50 years reduced to ash.

[reporter 2] It's been a period of unimaginable change for the Williams family.

The Eaton wildfire destroyed generations of their family's Altadena homes.

[woman] We'd go outside, it's just dark and swirling.

We knew it was bad.

[reporter 2] Four members of the family lost their homes entirely.

Despite the long road ahead, they're still finding the light

in even the darkest of moments.

It's a blessing that we've all been able to stay together through this.

I don't know what I would do without them.

God is still watching over us. We are so blessed.

At about 3:30 in the morning, the warning hit our phones.

Fast-moving fire. Evacuate now.

And we did.

We grabbed what we could.

Pictures. Our grandmother's special clock.

We collected our father's ashes

and his flag from serving in the military.

[cheers and applause]

We live close to one another, and thank goodness, we all made it out,

including our 47-year-old parrot, Hank.

[soft laughter]

[cheers and applause]

Among the five of us standing here,

we lost four homes,

and we're struggling to find places to live.

We have ties to the Altadena community

going back to 1948

when our grandmother bought her home.

[cheers and applause]

We love our community.

And right now, we are all grieving immense loss.

But there is a sign in the ruins at my mother's home.

Everything was destroyed except her front door.

It stands at this hour.

It's a sign because that door was always open.

That door was the gateway to love.

Let's welcome to the stage Mr. Graham Nash.

So pleased to be here.

Particularly with a great band. Dawes.

And my partner for so many years. Steven Stills.

You know there's a very large community here in Los Angeles

made up of many, many musicians.

And whenever Los Angeles gets into trouble,

the musicians are right there and I'm proud to be one of them.

Take care of yourself. Take care of one another.

Three dogs trapped in their house alone as the Palisades Fire closed in.

I was in San Francisco at the time.

My wife was traveling in Asia.

They had someone taking care of their dogs in the Pacific Palisades.

But the dog sitter got stuck. A fire in the vicinity.

Prevented her from getting to their home.

Jonathan Vigliotti was reporting from the Pacific Palisades Charter High School.

We live right up the street from there.

This neighborhood under threat right now. At least five homes destroyed.

I was in the Palisades showing what was going on within the disaster zone

when I posted something on social media.

And Andrea's wife saw that post and they connected with us and said,

we've got dogs in our house.

Can you go in, break in and get them?

When we got to the street, the houses on the other side of the street

from Andrea's were already on fire.

We looked at each other and we just knew we have to take action

otherwise those dogs will not survive.

We grabbed a chair, we smashed through the window, and then it was just all action.

- No thinking. - Hey, guys.

There was one right by the door.

There was another hiding under a bed, and then the third was growling

and did not want to be caught.

Come on, we gotta go.

Good boy. Let's go. Yeah...

And by the time we got the last dog into the car,

there were embers starting to ignite Andrea's home.

Okay. Let's go.

Then Andrea's house burned down.

I saw my phone ringing. It was Jonathan.

The first thing he said was we got the dogs.

When we finally reunited Andrea with his dogs

He immediately broke down crying. We did too.

All the adrenaline and fear and anxiety and hope just suddenly released.

And we both just broke down in tears.

That's one of the most life-affirming moments.

You know, we don't have kids, but they feel like a part of you.

I was thinking immediately about all the other people

who could not get back into their homes at the time,

who were outside of the evacuation zone and could not gain access,

who weren't able to have those reunions.

In tragedy,

we oftentimes find our best version of ourselves, and I think that is

on clear display here in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles! Help me welcome a true powerhouse.

And I'm very grateful that you all want to be here to celebrate generosity

and love and kindness.

I hope we can continue to gather in that spirit.

If you're hurting, I'm hurting with you. My heart is with you.

I'm going to keep my feet on the ground tonight, and I'm going to sing a couple

We're all here to watch some incredible music and hold each other up.

The fires were devastating, but the firefighters in this town,

from all over this country and even other countries

saved so many lives and so many homes.

We've got hundreds of first responders here in the house.

Let's give them a huge round of applause.

Yeah! Yeah...!

Give it up, give it up!

Even while they fought for us, some of them lost their homes.

I'd like for you to meet Chen Yu and his wife and their children,

Hudson and Atticus. His wife, Kim.

Thank you. Sam.

We live in Altadena, and I've been a Pasadena Fire Department for 18 years.

The night of the Eaton fire I saw the glow through the trees.

Kim and I got our kids out as soon as we got our orders

to evacuate. After they were safe,

I went to work. For 16 hours

I fought the flames, and they were unlike anything

any of us have ever experienced.

When we finally got a break, I immediately went to check on my house

and it was gone.

A few days later, I started combing through the ashes

and I found my wedding ring.

I always take it off for work, and I never thought I'd get it back.

But I'm not the only firefighter who lost their home.

But what I keep hearing is this. We're not going anywhere.

We will rebuild.

I believe we will, and we can.

We love our firefighters and we need to help them right now.

So go to the website and give what you can.

All the money that's raised will go directly to people who need help

in the short term, and for the long term effort

to get this city back on its feet.

And now to kick off the music at the Intuit Dome

with one of the most important and toughest jobs in the world.

Teachers. Yeah.

Right now, I'd like you to meet one of them,

Thank you, Quinta.

Good evening, everybody.

It took me 21 years to save for a down payment.

I got you.

My hard work paid off.

Five years ago, I purchased my dream home in Altadena,

and I was embraced by the community.

So now I've lost more than my home. I've lost my community, too.

I was so proud to be a homeowner,

so proud to have a place to call my own in this city.

During the fire.It got so windy I had to evacuate.

I kept hearing about friends and neighbors who lost their homes.

So I borrowed a bike, put on a on a mask and goggles,

and went to see the house for myself.

The destruction of the fire in Altadena

made it look like a war zone.

Power lines down, homes and cars burnt.

My house on Glen Rose Avenue was gone.

Everything was gone.

But I did manage to find one thing.

A dish that I used to keep my jewelry in.

It had an inscription which reads,

- "I think I'll just be happy today." - [Brunson] That's right.

Sometimes, that's all we can do.

Even though it's hard, there are moments

that get us through, moments like tonight.

That's right. Everybody, let's thank Aurora

and all the teachers out there right now.

- [cheering, applause] - [Brunson] Yes.

Yes, amazing.

Thank you.

So listen up.

Give what you can. 100% of the money

and long term efforts to rebuild.

Just boys. Are you ready?

Was that good?

Let me do it, let's try one more time.

That's pretty good. That's L.A. good.

Pretty good. But...

For boys. Where are my L.A. girls at?

[cheering]

Where my L.A. girls at?

Let's do this!

I want my ears to bleed, okay?

[cheering]

["Don't Speak playing]

Get your hands up

in the air!

- ["Spiderwebs" plays] - Los Angeles, get your hands up in the air!

It's all about love tonight, you guys.

We love you so much, Los Angeles.

Love coming together for love.

Ooh!

Are you gonna sing with me?

You ready to sing with me? Here we go.

Los Angeles, California, put your hands up

in the air!

Let's go!

[woman] The nation's second largest school district

is dealing with damage.

[reporter] A dozen schools have been destroyed

in the Palisades and Eaton fires.

Kids cannot go to school.

Kids and grown ups, they don't have anywhere to live.

[reporter] Now, thousands of children across the burn zones are waiting to hear

about when they can return to class.

The principal said maybe Thursday, they still have to clear it, I guess.

- [interviewer] And what grade are you in? - Fifth.

I was born and raised in Altadena,

and pretty much everything got burned down.

I lost all my Legos, my Braille stuff, a computer, a keyboard.

I don't really miss anything I lost. I just miss where we lived.

We had a nice home, huh?

- Yeah. - We'll keep thinking of it, huh?

That was our home for the ten years that I've been alive.

It's going to be kind of hard for someone like me to learn a new house.

I can hear better than anyone I know,

I think, because I can hear a siren

from farther away than anyone I know can.

I'm kind of excited for our park to get rebuilt.

Me and my mom are there like, almost every day

to ride my bike or my scooter.

I love helping people.

Everyone comes together in situations like this and works together.

I just hope that we can build our community

bigger and better.

Hello, Los Angeles!

I'm Grayson, and this is my mom,

Terica.

I'm so excited to be here with you all tonight.

And I want to thank all the I's for jumping in to help.

The fire took a lot.

But as I told everyone when we were staying at my uncle's.

when life gives you lemons or burnt houses, you make lemonade.

To the people of Altadena,

we will come back stronger.

Get ready, everybody.

I'm excited to introduce Tate McRae!

[cheering]

["You Broke Me First" plays]

Hi, everyone. My name is Tate.

So nice to meet you guys.

[cheering]

This is such an absolute honor to be performing tonight.

You know, I moved to Los Angeles four years ago

with a dream to become a become a musician,

and I feel so lucky and blessed

to now call it my home.

It's been a really devastating start of the year,

but I think we all can agree on is

how much we've come together has been a pretty magical thing to watch,

and I'm so grateful to be a part of this.

And for every single person who showed up tonight

and every artist who performed.

So thank you.

We're now going to sing a cover of "Don't Dream It's Over."

["Don't Dream It's Over" plays]

Sing it if you know it.

Let's keep it going for Jelly Roll.

Love you guys. Thank you.

[cheering]

I am honored to bring some country music

to the FireAid tonight.

What's up, Los Angeles!

["I Am Not Okay" plays]

Ain't that right, California?

My name is Jason "Jelly Roll" DeFord.

I am from Nashville, Tennessee, and it is an honor

to be here tonight.

But I think it's important while I'm on this stage

that I sing one of my favorite songs

by one of my favorite songwriters

about one of my favorite cities in America.

But it would only be right if I did it

with somebody from Los Angeles, California,

so I would like to bring my big brother

Mr. Travis Barker out to play the drums tonight.

[cheering]

Travis, what you say we play a little something

for them Hollywood Nights, baby?

["Hollywood Nights" plays]

One of the greatest to ever to do it, Travis Barker!

[crowd cheering]

[Jelly Roll] We love you Los Angeles!

[theme plays]

She is L.A. rock royalty,

and one of my favorite artists of all time,

- Stevie Nicks! - [crowd cheering]

["Stand Back" plays]

[crowd cheering]

Thank you.

I have been on the road for two solid years, and I've just been

off for about 3 or 4 weeks right before the fires started.

- [fan] We love you. - Thank you.

- I love you too. - [crowd cheering]

And I'm so--

I'm gonna go a little bit rogue here

and actually talk to you. about what happened.

I have something here that I have to read

Because it's important.

But I want you to know that the first time in my life,

knowing that I was a full on Pacific Palisadian woman,

with an old, beautiful and famous house,

that was almost taken from me

as the fire came up the hill behind my house,

and I was pretty sure as they whisked me away

and evacuated me, my least favorite word now,

to another safe place,

that when I turned around and looked,

my house would be up in flames.

And due to the fact that my house was wood, because it was built in '38,

it would have set the rest of the whole street on both sides on fire.

So she stands strong, just like her mom.

And, in my opinion, she saved that whole street.

And so, when I look at her now, I have yet to go back inside,

I just walked around the around the house and seen it,

And just to go like, you know what, there is a God.

Sometimes when you think that everything is lost, you have to believe.

Even if you're not religious, you have to go,

"There is a God," and that God saved that house for me,

because without her, I don't know what I would have done.

So I wanted to share that story with you.

And now, the reason that God saved is because it was a team

from Santa Rosa, the Santa Rosa firefighters, that saved her,

and they never gave up I have to tell you.

Not just on my house but on the whole side of the whole mountain canyon

that was coming up towards us.

And so I'd like to dedicate this next song

to all of those firefighters, because until you really see it happen.

You can't believe it. You just simply cannot believe

the bravery of these men, Captain Dean especially.

So I'd like to dedicate this song to them.

It's called "Landslide."

- [fan] We love you, Stevie! - [crowd cheering]

["Landslide" plays]

[man] Love you, Stevie!

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

Thank you.

For a girl who lives on the stage, it's very nerve-wracking.

[fan] We love you, Stevie!

- ["Edge of Seventeen" plays] - [crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

Thank you everybody.

You have been totally a pleasure to play for and an awesome audience

and, uh, take care of yourselves.

Most important, what I mostly care about is just really take care of yourself.

We love you, I'm just moving, I don't understand exactly why.

This is easy.

And now, accompanied by the Pasadena Chorale,

from Altadena, my friend, Mrs. Katy Perry!

[crowd cheering]

["Rise" plays]

[crowd cheering]

Thank you so much to the Pasadena Chorale!

California, we always rise.

And we always roar, don't we?

Let' go!

["Roar" plays]

- Sing it! - [crowd sings along]

Sing it!

Come on!

- [crowd cheering] - Thank you.

You guys.

Thanks so much for having me, I'm so happy to be here.

To participate in such an incredible, uplifting event.

Can we keep this energy going forever?

This is what makes us human.

This is what separates us from the robots.

This is humanity. This is love. This is kindness.

And I have been so inspired by how quickly.

our community organized to help all of our neighbors in need.

It really reminds me

that the people have the power.

California, you are such a unique state and I am so proud.

Are you so proud to be a California girl.

[crowd cheering]

Okay, let's go, let's show 'em how proud we are.

["California Gurls" plays]

Let's go!

Let's see you dance!

Come on!

Let's go!

Sing it!

That's right.

Sing it!

If you love California, let's go!

[crowd cheering]

Thank you, God bless you, L.A., we love you!

[reporter] These dire scenes are playing out all across L.A. County,

but evidence of resilience emerges.

Neighbors uniting in their own fire fight banded together.

[man] When you see your next door neighbor's house on fire,

it's really hard not to try to help out.

When the Palisades fire took off,

we fought the fires together. I had never met Michael.

I met Chris,

who was a complete stranger in front of my house.

And I kept on hearing on the news that there was only one way in and one way out.

I got in my car. I found a house, and it was on fire.

I got a garden hose on it until the firefighters came up.

My dad's a 35-year veteran fireman.

And I don't know if it was the blood in him that got to me,

but I just wanted to get over there as quickly as I could.

We found a car that was running,

and we used that as our fire truck.

He was adamant. I was adamant.

We were not letting this neighborhood go down.

This was something that we were going to do.

- And we were gonna... - We were gonna do it together.

We're gonna do it together.

All night long, going into people's backyards,

putting out ember fires-- without the two of us together,

I don't think I could have done it so long.

[Chris] There's a lot of emotion going on.

I mean, we're going to be connected forever on this.

We had one night, and this is not our profession.

So I just, to all the firefighters and first responders out there,

you're amazing.

And thank you for all the work that you did.

Everybody knows the Palisades is a very tight-knit community.

This is part of my soul. I've been there since I was a little kid.

This community is strong.

It's going to thrive. It's going to come back.

[driving rock music plays]

["Breed" playing]

["All Apologies" plays]

[song ends]

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

It's not just homes and humans that are being impacted by these fires,

but also innocent animals.

Right over here, John, you can see more people coming with their horses.

It's not just about protecting people and property.

Pets also need relief from these fires.

She couldn't get the cat out from under the bed, so she had to make a choice.

But among the tragic destruction, there are glimmers of hope

and heroism.

Initially, my dad and I had came up to check on our house

and our neighbor's horse, Sovereignty.

Helping my neighbors is definitely important to me.

They helped me a lot in my riding career, and I was really

worried about Sovereignty.

He's definitely a spooky horse.

The fire was burning everywhere around and I was like,

Oh, this is not going to be okay.

They had already tried to evacuate Sovereignty,

but they couldn't get him into the trailer. He was too scared to get in.

And so once we were up here, I knew the only way to get him down

was to ride him down the canyon to safety.

My dad was kind of skeptical at first.

I didn't think it was a good idea for us to be driving through all the crazy terrain.

But when... decides she's doing something, there's no telling her no.

Sovereignty was really nervous.

The fire was...

burning everywhere, around the telephone poles down,

rocks on the road, traffic coming through really fast,

because everybody was getting out. Every time he got a little spooked, I hopped down,

gave him a little comfort and walked him through,

and then he got back on, walked as far as we could.

And it was kind of like that the whole time, but I knew

that was the only way to get him down.

We ended up riding Sovereignty ten miles.

Once I got him to safety, I felt really relieved that he was going to be safe.

This stuff can be replaced.

I don't think animals can.

[cheers and applause]

All right, Intuit Dome.

It's time to get on your feet...

for one of hip hop's hottest artists, Lil Baby!

[cheers and applause]

Hey, this is all right now!

["So Sorry" plays]

[man] Make some noise for Lil Baby!

[song ends]

L.A., how y'all doin' tonight?

[cheers and applause]

Before I get to my next song, I want to just say, my heart

goes out to everybody affected by the fires.

And I want to give a super, super shout out

and a round of applause to the first responders around the world.

[cheers and applause]

["Emotionally Scarred" plays]

[man] Hey, what's up? Right now...

if you know this at home, we gon' sing along with Lil Baby one time.

On three.

Right side, left side, in the back!

Thank you for showing up, LA.

[theme playing]

[crowd cheering]

How you guys doing, good?

[cheering]

Thank you, thank you.

Um, well I'm--I'm Miles Teller, and--

Thank you guys.

Uh, first, I just want to give a shout-out

I know there's a lot of first responders here tonight.

And there's a lot watching at home, so thank you all for keeping us safe.

Thank you.

My wife and I, like so many others

living in the Pacific Palisades, lost our home in the fires,

and my heart breaks for everyone

Who's been affected across the city.

Truly, my heart goes out to all you guys.

And tonight I'm standing next to someone from the Palisades who's lost a lot,

and he's here to share his story with us.

And I actually just found out backstage that we lived on the same street.

So, this is my neighbor.

Please meet Chad Comey.

[crowd cheers]

Thanks, Miles.

I live in the Palisades with my disabled parents.

My dad is blind. My mom is in a wheelchair.

I'm their caregiver.

Our condo had been in the family since 1974 when my grandparents bought it.

We loved our home.

We were one of the last families to leave the area.

When it was time to evacuate.

I grabbed my neighbor and we carried my mom down five flights of stairs.

[crowd cheers]

My dad was stubborn and stayed behind.

I was super worried about him. I couldn't sleep that night.

He couldn't get out because of the heat and he had to spend the night

in the underground garage.

Thankfully he survived.

[crowd cheering]

My dad was a Special Ed teacher and my parents--

- [crowd cheering] - He's a teacher, yeah.

And my parents lived on Social Security.

[woman] Yeah!

[laughter]

You know it. You know it. You're living it, too.

Well, we didn't have insurance.

We lost so much, but we didn't lose everything.

We lost our photographs, but we didn't lose our family memories.

[crowd cheering]

We lost our house, but we didn't lose our home.

[crowd cheering]

We lost our residence, but we didn't lose our resilience.

[crowd cheering]

The Palisades...

this entire city, Los Angeles,

the city I call home, I love you guys.

We will persevere.

[crowd cheering]

[Miles] Yes, we will.

And I wanted to mention one more thing.

I heard that you are a huge Green Day fan, who's not?

And one of the prized possessions that you lost in the fire was a drumstick

- that you caught at one of the concerts. - Yeah.

Well, Green Day's drummer Tré Cool heard about that.

And you know what? He's got a little surprise for you.

- [crowd cheering] - Where is he at? Hey!

Everyone, please go to Fire Aid LA.org

and give what you can.

All of the money raised will go directly to people who need it now,

and towards long term efforts to build the communities back.

And help me out with this. Please join us in welcoming

[both] Olivia Rodrigo!

[crowd cheering]

["drivers license" plays]

[crowd sings along]

[crowd cheering]

[Olivia] Sing it!

[crowd cheering]

Wow, thank you guys so much for having me.

Thank you so much for being here.

It has been so heartbreaking to witness all of this devastation

in this incredible city.

I love LA so much. I've lived here my whole life.

I love everybody who lives in LA, you guys are amazing.

[crowd cheering]

I find this place so beautiful and so inspiring.

And I've written many songs about living here in my life, like this one.

So here it goes.

[crowd cheering]

["deja vu" plays]

[crowd sings along]

[screaming]

Come on!

Everyone on this side!

Are you gonna sing this part with me?

Okay, let's sing it, ready?

Everyone on this side.

Can you sing it?

Let me hear it!

Altogether now, LA.

I love you so much!

[crowd cheering]

["Keep Me In Your Heart" by Warren Zevon plays]

Oh, my god.

Thank you, man.

That was our kitchen, it's just gone.

Everything is just gone.

[man] Oh, god.

[crowd cheering and screaming]

Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary Sting.

[crowd cheering]

One, two, three, hey!

["Message in a Bottle" plays]

[crowd cheering]

["Driven to Tears" plays]

[crowd cheering]

[Sting] Thank you.

One, two, three, four.

["Fragile" plays]

[crowd cheering]

Good night, LA, thank you!

[crowd cheering]

[reporter 1] The raw emotion of coming back to nothing.

[reporter 2] In Altadena, thousands more families homeless.

[woman] That's where I lived, and I have nothing but the shoes I have on.

Everything is gone.

It'll be okay. Even though I'm 91 years old, I'll start over again.

[Deven Hollimon] The day after the fire, we drove up towards my grandma's house,

and as we sort of turned down her street, we saw what was left of her house,

which was just a chimney.

My grandmother has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

It's been very, very difficult for her to adjust to a new setting.

She's asking, "When can I go home?"

And I know that none of this makes any sense to her.

I'll hear her just whispering, praying and just hoping for some sort of semblance

of peace, normalcy, and understanding.

The community has rallied around itself in a way that is-- it's just so beautiful.

People who I haven't spoken to since maybe like high school, since middle school

are checking in with me about my family and helping in any way they can,

whether it's dropping off water bottles or some pajamas for my grandmother

so, like, she can feel a little bit more comfortable in a strange bed.

LA has shown up for the community.

All of these people are able to set aside their differences

and look at the other person and say, "Are you okay? What do you need?"

I believe that this is what people can be for each other, should be for each other,

and I would just encourage us to remember how it feels to show up for our community in this way

and make it our mission and effort to do that every day.

[crowd cheering]

And next up,

we have one of the biggest names in Latin music.

Peso Pluma.

[crowd cheering]

["La Bebe" plays]

LA!

[speaking Spanish]

[crowd cheering]

[reporter 1] The devastating fires are leaving families

without homes, jobs, and basic necessities.

[reporter 2] But an incredible wave of kindness is bringing hope.

[man] There are firefighters from Mexico and Canada on the ground to lend their support.

[reporter 3] North Texans are answering California's call for help.

[reporter 4] As a wildfire disaster deepens.

The City of Angels living up to its name.

I'm a primary care physician, board certified to see pediatrics and adults.

And so the idea was to open up a physical space

where people could walk in if they needed a refill of a medication,

or they wanted to be evaluated for respiratory conditions

that have worsened through the fires,

or just had general health questions about what they could do

to keep themselves safe and healthy.

As the city clears, as the smoke clears,

and as we all kind of rebuild our health and our communities.

[Michelle Halloossim] I'm so grateful to be of service to so many people,

because our city just really needs support right now.

And that's the beautiful thing that's happening.

The people that are coming together right now from every direction,

um, I'm gonna cry because it really affected me.

People I know.

But there's a lot of people that don't know anyone that was affected,

and they care too, and I think that's the most important thing,

is that everyone's coming together right now.

We don't need to be superheroes. We don't need to save the world.

But a bunch of small acts of kindness really add up.

[crying]

[Charvetta Miller] We're going to be able to rebuild and stay together as a community.

Seeing the people fighting for everything that we have built

and banded together to keep it going and not watch it burn.

That's why we're strong.

As long as we stay together, I think we're going to be okay.

From the first moment I heard her exquisite voice I became a devotee.

Here she is with her brother, Finneas.

LA's very own, Billie Eilish!

[crowd cheering and screaming]

What's going on? Hi, guys.

Thanks for being here. Thank you for having me.

I feel very lucky to be here.

This is my brother, backing me up.

We're going to do some little acoustic songs.

So they'll be pretty quiet and chill.

So if you want to sit or whatever, you can.

[woman] No!

[laughs] No! Okay. Ready?

- ["Wildflower" plays] - [crowd cheering]

[crowd sings along]

[audience cheers]

["The Greatest" by Billie EIlish playing]

[chuckles] I love you. Thank you for being so sweet.

Feel very honored to be on this stage tonight.

[clears throat]

[audience cheering]

Thank you.

Um...

Well...

I just-- I love you all so much.

And I... [chuckles]

It's really nice to be here tonight and just...

It just feels all really, like, hopeful and good in here.

And I just appreciate all of you.

And, I just feel honored to be here,

and I-- It's a really, really scary time.

And it's been so devastating.

And LA Is, like, my favorite place in the world and my only home.

And I've-- My brother and I, you know, grew up here and live here,

and it's the greatest place in the world. And I care about it so much.

And it's just been so, so, so, so devastating what's going on

So to everyone who is experiencing this,

I love you and I got you, and we will not forget about you.

And we're going to keep doing this for you.

And anyway, thank you for having us.

And this is the last one. It's called "Birds of a Feather."

["Birds of a Feather" by Billie EIlish playing]

Thank you so much!

This is my brother, Finneas, by the way.

I love you, Los Angeles.

I will always fight for you. I love you.

Thank you.

thank you LA, thank you firefighters

[audience cheering]

[melancholy music playing]

L.A. will be rebuilt. For sure.

Right now we're responding to the emergency.

But then comes the reconstruction when we see people who have lost their

homes and lost their job, their business.

This is when we come together. It's been a pouring of love.

We come together and help each other. People know they're not alone.

It's strong because it's a very resilient not just city, but also community.

- This is a moment in time that we're. - Going to remember in.

Our city's history.

- The first. - And.

Now second responders coming and utilizing every skill that they have.

- With. - Precision.

With urgency in the name of love for Los Angeles.

People are here because they want to be here regardless of

whether they were born and raised here.

L.A.

Is their home, and we're really good about coming together when people need help.

I feel like we come from a different cloth.

Like Kendrick said, you know, like we all got our definitions of the cloth,

but like, it's cut from L.A..

Do you want to be treated?

We all need help sometimes, and it's good to know that there are

people who will have your back.

- I can tell you I'm grateful. - And then la.

There's love here.

Well, we're able to work shoulder to shoulder.

I don't think there's anything that can handle you.

- And we. - Will.

Rebuild a new, beautiful ways.

Whenever things like this may happen.

Wildfires raging across Southern California.

Mandatory evacuations are underway.

While crews are still on the ground fighting these fires.

A special team is taking to the skies.

Aircraft into the fires, including the Cal

Fire 200 and. 72.

Helicopters and planes can make.

Another place far away. 50 miles an hour.

These guys are right next to.

- You with that aircraft to make sure. - That water is on fire.

- Many home and business. - Owners are now talking about.

Covering.

- With so many now. - Homeless in the coming.

- Days, weeks and weeks and months. - Give me a real challenge.

I found out the house I lived in in Altadena burned down.

There is a part of me that can't really accept that it's gone.

I didn't feel at home most of my life.

I moved out when I was 16, and have spent every year since trying to find a place

that feels at home, and I had that.

I was really proud of myself for achieving that.

- I didn't know if I'd ever feel that. - Way.

And that place is gone.

My goal was to bring people what they need as a small business owner.

I don't have a lot, but what I can do is make money by selling wine

and donating 100% of the purchase price to the California Fire Foundation.

The fire department in Pasadena have been friends of ours at our wine shop for just

a few blocks away from station 34. It's just such a personal gift to give.

Especially with how much these guys have gone through.

I'm grateful for you guys. I'm grateful to be so close to you.

This is making me feel connected. This is making me feel at home.

It's the one thing I can do right now that feels good.

And I will hold on to that as long as I can.

- Thank. - You.

- Please give it. - Up for one.

- Of the. - Greatest artists of all time.

- Stevie. - Wonder.

- Thank you for. - Allowing.

- Me to be a part of. - Us. Giving.

We have no time for shaming.

- It breaks my. - Heart.

- For those. - That have lost.

- Not only. - Those who lost their.

- Some who have lost. - Their.

- Lives. - So we need to.

Pray and thank God for those who are alive, and pray for those who lost

that we will allow with our giving, to help them to get themselves

back on their feet again.

I love you and I thank God for give me the gift of song to sing to you.

I want to sing a song that I wrote.

It's still so relevant.

Love's in need of love today.

Let's hit it.

Everybody, clap your hands. Let's get it!

[Stevie] Are y'all with us?

I love you!

Holy shit.

Hi. I'm Olivia Rodrigo.

Have you had a good night? How could you not have had a good night?

I mean, Stevie and Flea and Sting.

Three guys with one name a piece are here.

I mean.

And we needed a good night. We've had a lot of bad nights.

Well, here we are. Sharing love and music and probably the Norovirus.

But I think it's worth it.

This is--

What a magical show.

What an incredible night.

Thank you to all the artists who volunteered their time

and talent to lift us up.

Thanks to the Azoff family for making this happen.

Thanks to Steve Ballmer for opening his dome to us.

Thanks to those of you watching around the world.

This city, for all the things they say about us,

when Hurricane Harvey hit, we were there.

When Katrina devastated New Orleans, we were there.

When Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, we were there.

The people in this city, many of the people in this room

helped to raise more than $200 million

for other cities hit by natural disasters.

And now we are helping our own.

So many people I know, I know so many of you...

even some of the people who are on stage tonight lost their homes, lost everything.

And when you did, we wrapped our arms around each other immediately.

All across Los Angeles, from Malibu to the Pacific Palisades, to Altadena.

Warehouses are filled with more donations than most of the centers could even handle.

To this, in a lot of places, they have too many volunteers.

They have to turn them away.

This is a tragedy that hurt everyone who lives here,

And it will continue to hurt

for many years. But it has also brought us much closer together.

And I am very grateful, especially for our firefighters.

If you're here, please raise your hands and show yourselves.

Thanks to our firefighters from here in L.A., from all over the country,

from Canada, Mexico, and our friends around the world.

Thanks to the rescue workers, the first responders,

raise your hands to the prisoners who risk their lives for ten dollars a day.

Thanks to the volunteers and the chefs,

and the teachers and artists, and store owners and charities

who've been doing everything they can.

I also want to thank you for being here tonight and for being there tomorrow, too.

This isn't over.

We need you. We need your help.

Please make a donation to Fire Aid LA dot ORG.

100% of the money goes to short term relief and long term efforts to rebuild.

Thank you.

And now to, close out this beautiful night,

to heal us with her spirit and her talent,

please give a big, warm, sloppy L.A. welcome to Lady Gaga.

[cheers and applause]

I love you so much.

I love you so much. Thank you so much for having me tonight.

All right, let's do this.

["Shallow" plays]

Thank you.

Thank you. I love you.

This has been a horrible, scary time,

but during these times, I feel like people come together

and we see how much we need each other.

And I want to always remember us just like this.

["Always Remember Us This Way" plays]

All right.

When I was, uh, thinking about what to sing tonight,

I thought I wanted to do something hopeful for you.

And I was thinking about my songs, and it wasn't anything that seemed quite right.

So me and my friend Michael, my fiancé, my love.

We wrote this song for you.

It's just for tonight. It's just for you.

I think we all need a lot of things right now,

but I think something we may also need is time. Time is a healer.

["Time is a Healer" plays]

I love you, California.

I love you so much.

Get home safe. We love you.

["Home" by Foo Fighters plays]
