"Any amount is greatly appreciated!" she added in another post. The deepest sense of community and love is surrounding those who have lost their homes. Being one of them. That connection is irreplaceable and can never be taken in away as devastating as this..."

Hemsworth shared the same spooky image of what's left of their home on Tuesday. In the caption of his post, the 28-year-old actor thanked the firefighters who battled the blaze and praised the community of Malibu for its resilience.

"It's been a heartbreaking few days," Hemsworth wrote. "This is what's left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires. I spent the day in Malibu yesterday and it was amazing to see the community pulling together to help each other out in any way they can. Malibu is a strong community and this event is only going to make it stronger."

He continued, "Thankful for the all the great local guys that helped keep smaller fires out around my property. I love u guys. I love you Malibu. Thank you to all the hero firefighters around California. It's going to be a journey to rebuild. Stay strong all."

"Miley and Liam lost their home but are very grateful to be safe along with their animals!" the statement read. "Their community and state are very special to them and they want to give back to the place that has created so many beautiful memories for themselves and others. They are donating $500,000 to The Malibu Foundation through Miley's charity, Happy Hippie, in hopes to restore Malibu's magic."

"These funds will be used for those in financial need, emergency relief assistance, community rebuilding, wildfire prevention and climate change resilience," the statement continued. "Those looking to get involved your time, support and donations are greatly appreciated."

Cyrus first revealed the fate of their home on Sunday.

"Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community," she wrote on Twitter and Instagram. "I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that's all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.
