Nicole Kidman, Pink, Hugh Jackman, more pledge to support Australia amid bushfires

Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and pop singer Pink among others have made donations to the organisations supporting fire relief in the wake of the raging bushfire crisis in Australia which has so far claimed the lives of 24 people.

These celebrities have also urged their followers on social media to do their bit.

Pink said she is donating USD 500,000 to help fight the deadly wildfires that have devastated parts of Australia.

"I am totally devastated watching what is happening in Australia right now with the horrific bushfires. I am pledging a donation of USD 500,000 directly to the local fire services that are battling so hard on the frontlines. My heart goes out to our friends and family in Oz," she wrote on Twitter.

Australian native Kidman posted the same list of organisations working to support the continent and also pledged USD 500,000.

"... our family's support, thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires all over Australia," she wrote on Instagram.

Another Australian star Jackman posted a photo with links to the organisations receiving donations, with the caption "How can you help?"
