Chris Hemsworth is the latest celebrity to pledge a donation to help the fights against the Australian bushfires. The Australian actor took to Instagram to share a video of himself confirming he and his family have donated $1 million to help those affected and he's asking others to help, no matter how large or small the donation.
In the video, Chris told fans, "There's warmer weather on its way and we're still in the thick of it here," he reiterated, "Every dollar counts."
Revealing further details in his caption, Chris said, 'Hi everyone. Like you, I want to support the fight against the bushfires here in Australia. My family and I are contributing a million dollars. Hopefully you guys can chip in too.
'Every penny counts so whatever you can muster up is greatly appreciated. In my bio I’ve added links to support the fire fighters, organisations and charities who are working flat out to provide support and relief during this devastating and challenging time. Beyond appreciative to everyone around the world for their well wishes and donations. It really does make a difference, so dig deep! Love ya.'
The Thor actor is the latest in a number of celebrities who have donated to the cause, with P!NK recently telling her fans she has donated $500,000 to Australian firefighters, along with Selena Gomez, Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.
P!NK urged fans to donate tweeting, 'I am totally devastated watching what is happening in Australia right now with the horrific bushfires.
