Many stars have stepped up to help including Jennifer Garner, who is working to help the littlest victims of the infernos through Save the Children. Former “Real Housewives of New York” star Bethenny Frankel also mobilized her BStrong initiative right away to deliver crisis kits and cash cards to fire victims. Paris Hilton, who lost her Malibu home in the Palisades Fire, launched an emergency fund that raised $800K in just 72 hours.
