I don’t know what’s more heartbreaking. Fires destroying Australia or the humans who allow it to happen. Not to mention the soulless “leaders” bringing us into another made up war. War is fake #ClimateChange is real #heartbroken pic.twitter.com/a2MzF8N1wM

According to CNN, wildfires have been devastating the country ever since the fire season began in July. As of Jan. 4, at least 24 people in Australia have died and over 1,300 houses have been destroyed. The situation has apparently been exasperated by drought and heat, which has led many to deduce that climate change had a hand in making the situation that much more disastrous.
Esposito is far from the only celebrity who has spoken out regarding this issue. Pink has also addressed the issue and given a major donation to those in need in Australia.
“I am totally devastated watching what is happening in Australia right now with the horrific bushfires,” Pink wrote on Twitter. “I am pledging a donation of $500,000 directly to the local fire services that are battling so hard on the frontlines. My heart goes out to our friends and family in Oz.”
The singer also included links to various organizations in the country that are in need of donations.
Nicole Kidman, who is from Australia, and her husband, Keith Urban, have also donated $500,000 to an Australian organization that is working to help quell the devastating wildfires.
“Our family’s support, thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires all over Australia,” both Kidman and Urban wrote on their respective Instagram accounts. “We are donating $500,000 to the Rural Fire Services who are all doing and giving so much right now.”
Like Pink, Kidman and Urban’s message included links and ways to donate to various Australian fire services.
