ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - The historic storm has ripped through Houston, leaving 30,000 people homeless and 14 people dead, and several celebrities, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, and the Kardashians have stepped up to donate money to help with relief efforts.
And now the Oscar-winning The Blind Side star has added $1 million to the American Red Cross’ relief effort.
“There are no politics in eight feet of water,” she says. “There are human beings in eight feet of water.”
“I’m just grateful I can do it,” she adds. “We all have to do our part.”
Bullock owns a home in the U.S. state, according to People.com.
Her $1 million donation comes hot on the heels of another big handover from Disney executives, who have also agreed to give seven figures to the relief effort.
Announcing the company’s $1 million pledge earlier on Tuesday, 29 August, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger said, “Our hearts go out to everyone in the devastating path of this historic storm."
