(ANSA) - NEW YORK, JAN 10 - Leonardo DiCaprio takes the field to Australia and says that he will donate three million dollars to contribute to the efforts to put out the fires that are killing much of the country on his knees. Through his environmental organization Earth Alliance, the Hollywood star has created the Australia Wildfire Fund to help with an "international response to catastrophic fires".
The flames burned twice as much area as the US state of Maryland, killed at least 25 people and destroyed 2,000 homes. DiCaprio has therefore joined a growing list of celebrities who are donating funds for Australia, from Chris Hemsworth to Elton John, via Nicole Kidman. And the DiCaprio foundation has already donated millions of dollars to fight the fires that ravaged the Amazon rainforest last year.
