The news was first reported by ‘The Shade Room,‘ a popular gossip blog, through an Instagram post, with additional confirmation from ‘Variety,’ a leading American entertainment trade magazine.
According to the reports, the funds will be directed toward helping families in Altadena and Pasadena, as well as supporting local churches and community centers involved in relief efforts.

In other news, Beyoncé has officially secured the trademark rights to her daughter Blue Ivy’s name, bringing an end to a protracted 12-year legal tussle. The victory, confirmed by The Trademark Official Gazette on December 31, grants the star exclusive rights to the name “Blue Ivy.”
The trademark application was first filed in 2012 by Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, shortly after Blue Ivy’s birth. They aimed to protect the name from commercial exploitation by third parties.
