Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop are donating to those impacted by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.

Following the wildfires that began Jan. 7 in the Pacific Palisades before multiple other fires burned throughout the city, the 52-year-old actress is doing her part to help rebuild the community she calls home.

“Los Angeles...I have been searching for words and failing, typing and deleting,” she began in a joint Instagram post shared Thursday, Jan. 16. “The loss is incalculable.”

Though too soon to put a definitive number on the destruction, Paltrow tried to help her readers understand the scope of the devastation.

Twenty-[five] people. Over twelve thousand structures. Tens of thousands displaced. That is what we can count so far, but there is so much we cannot measure,” she wrote.

Next, she named two communities hit hardest by the disaster — The Palisades and Altadena.

According to Cal Fire, the Pacific Palisades fire — which started along the Pacific Coast Highway before almost making it to the San Fernando Valley — burned 23,713 acres, and was just 22% contained as of Jan. 16.

“They are more than neighborhoods, they are communities that define what it means to belong. Every house is a haven, and a witness to the people who made it a home,” she wrote.

Paltrow added, “There is more to do than there is to say,” then thanked those who have already stepped up: “First responders risking their lives and their health to protect us. Local journalists keeping us informed so we can make life-saving choices. Neighbors caring for each other, fiercely, in the face of great uncertainty and fear.”

She also thanked small businesses that have “more than what they have,” as well as the real estate community for “policing and reporting price gouging as soon as they see it.”
