Jimmy Kimmel Live halted its tapings last week as wildfires began ravishing multiple areas of Los Angeles. The show has yet to return to air, but in the meantime its Hollywood backlot is being used as a donation center to collect essential resources for those impacted by the fires.

“Fellow Angelenos – if you’re looking for a way to help those affected by the fires, we have a donation center in our backlot in Hollywood,” Kimmel shared in an Instagram post. The center will be open at 6901 Hawthorn Ave in Los Angeles on Monday, Jan. 13 through 6 p.m. PST. “We will quickly distribute essential items to those who need them,” the post continues. “Thank you for supporting and please spread the word to those in our neighborhood.”

The Jimmy Kimmel Live donation center is accepting bottled water and Gatorade, baby food, pet food, non-perishable food, sealed toiletries and hygiene products, packaged undergarments, diapers, and baby wipes.

The nearly week-long break has marked the longest the late-night show has gone without airing during a regular season since the months-long Hollywood strikes in 2023. During that time, Kimmel launched the Strike Force Five podcast with fellow late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver. All proceeds from the show benefited their employees. He also revealed that actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon had offered to cover his staff’s pay for two weeks, although he declined because he felt “that was not their responsibility.”

With the Los Angeles fires, showing up for each other feels like everyone’s responsibility. More than 24 deaths are being investigated in connection to the wildfires and more than 130,000 individuals displaced. Actress Jennifer Garner recently revealed that a friend of hers “didn’t get out in time,” while others including Mandy Moore, Diane Warren, Adam Brody, and more lost the homes they were forced to evacuate.

The devastation settling over Los Angeles has halted production on a number of sets in addition to pushing back the announcement of the 2025 Academy Awards nominations. A number of celebrities are using this time to show up for their communities. Jamie Lee Curtis announced plans to donate $1 million toward fire relief funds, while Tyler Perry slammed insurance companies for canceling plans ahead of the fires and shared plans to figure out how he can be of help. Beyoncé‘s BeyGOOD charity foundation donated $2.5 million to the newly-established LA Fire Relief Fund. A number of music industry-specific resources have emerged as well as general assistance for those in need.
