Ella Yelich-O’Connor who goes by her stage name “Lorde” has reached out to Kiwis who were affected by the 7.5 magnitude earthquake this morning that killed two and has caused ongoing havoc.
The 20-year-old who is based in the U.S reached out to her followers back home, urging them to “stay safe and help out in any way you can”.
“my heart goes out to new zealand and everyone affected by this quake. we are made of tough stuff”.
This is not the first time the young singer has expressed her kindness this year.
Last month she donated $10,000 to help a West Auckland family in need who were struggling to cover home repair costs while managing the medical expenses for their disabled daughter Rhee.
“Sending best wishes and love to you and your parents, Rhee. Xxxx,” wrote the Kiwi singer, on the families Givealittle page.
The grateful family were blown away by the act of generosity from the pop star.
“What an amazing young woman she is. There’s no personal connection so I’m very humbled that she would think of us.”
In June this year, Ella also donated $20,000 to a struggling Hutt Valley charity called Fuel the Need that feeds hungry school children.
Other Kiwi celebrities took to Twitter to send messages of support to New Zealanders affected by the quake.
