TMZ has reported that the Kardashians' donation has already gone through to the both the Red Cross & Salvation Army where it is being distributed evenly. Other celebrities have also lent their support to those affected by the natural disaster with Katy Perry giving a special shout out to the struggling city while she was hosting the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, while Houston native Beyoncé is working with her own charity to help families affected by the storm.
But perhaps the most the most influential celebrity to step up after Hurricane Harvey has been comedian Kevin Hart, who challenged fellow celebrities to donate to the relief effort.
In an Instagram video Hart called out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey, and Justin Timberlake to join him in donating to the tragedy. Hart himself promised to pledge $25,000 for the cause.
At least 18 have been confirmed dead in Texas & flash flood warnings are in place across Louisiana where the hurricane is predicted to hit next.
