Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are among the artists headlining the FireAid benefit concert on Thursday in an effort to help those affected by the Southern California wildfires.
The fires began Jan. 7 and have ravaged thousands of acres throughout the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, businesses and more in its path. At least 29 people have died from the fires, which have been fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds.
