The FireAid benefit concert, the one-night-only event that will bring together 27 musicians, is taking place tonight to help fund efforts to rebuild communities impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. You can watch the live stream here on CBS News 24/7.
The wildfires in the L.A. area that started on Jan. 7 killed at least 29 people as they tore through tens of thousands of acres and burned down entire communities. The hardest hit areas included Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Earlier this week, city officials said the clean-up and rebuilding process was underway.
Contributions made to FireAid “will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation and will be distributed for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California,” organizers said.
Here’s everything you need to know about the music event, including how to watch, what artists are performing and how to help the wildfire victims.
