Los Angeles is an inspiring city. Even after facing countless trials and tribulations, the city is standing strong. However, the recent wildfires might be the biggest tragedy the city has ever seen and the damage it has done might be irreparable. According to the latest report, the death toll has risen to 10 and more than 130,000 people have lost their homes.

Reports further suggest that this might be the costliest wildfire disaster in American history. During these tough times, the people of LA need as much help as they can get. Floyd Mayweather is trying to do his part by announcing that he would offer assistance to families displaced by the fire through his newly-formed real estate firm VADA Properties.

Floyd Mayweather steps up

Mayweather took to his Instagram to share his condolence for those affected by the tragedy. He wrote, “My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in California during this difficult time,” before announcing the assistance program through VADA Properties.

He declared in the post, “If you have been displaced by the fires and are in need of assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@vadaproperties.com My team will review your request and do our very best to help. Stay strong. 🙏🏾,” and promised that he would do everything in his power to help as many people as possible alongside his team.

Floyd Mayweather officially launched his real estate firm VADA Properties a few months ago to elevate the standards of his real estate investments in New York. According to the reports, the real estate deal worth $402 million includes 60 buildings in New York, making it a total of more than 1,000 units around NYC.

This move by ‘Money’ can help a lot of aggrieved, who have lost their homes in the fire. Furthermore, authorities have set up several human and animal evacuation shelters across LA to provide help. Yesterday, Mike Tyson also shared information regarding these shelters to educate the masses. At this point, every small gesture counts as this tragedy has taken a turn for the worse.

Costliest disaster in American history

AccuWeather, the weather forecasting service, reports that the LA wildfires have resulted in damages between $52 billion and $57 billion across the city. The figures may only rise in the coming days. It is the most expensive disaster in California’s history and the images being shared are shocking. The fire has torched the whole city, destroying homes belonging to stars like Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, Billy Crystal, and Cary Edwards.

While the reason for the fire is still undisclosed, sources suggest that the wildfire started from the Pacific Palisades at 10:30 local EST. Three separate blazes from Hurst, Woodley, and Eaton later joined the Pacific fires as things took a turn for the worst. According to ‘The LA Times,’ the Pacific fire has engulfed 19,978 acres while the Eaton fire has scorched nearly 13,690 acres of land. While the authorities have lifted evacuation orders from Kenneth, Sunset, and Hurst, the damage done there was severe as well.

More than 7,500 firefighters and 1,200 fire trucks have been trying to get the fire under control for several hours now. President Joe Biden announced it as a major disaster, ordering federal assistance to bolster response efforts.

According to sources, the people of LA will have to power through another day, as the red flag fire weather will last through Friday. While firefighters might contain the fire, gusts could return on Sunday. It will heighten the fire, health, and environmental risk, and the emergency responders will be on high alert for the coming days.

We hope that the disaster can get under control as soon as possible, so people can start to rebuild their lives. Make sure to check out Floyd Mayweather’s post and share it with as many people as possible.
