Morgan Wallen donates to Hurricane Helene relief, says family is 'safe' amid devastating floods

Morgan Wallen donated $500,000 to the Red Cross to assist those affected by Hurricane Helene's massive destruction, including in his home state of Tennessee.

"We can’t thank Morgan Wallen enough for his heart and generous $500,000 donation to impact help on the ground now in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene, including his beloved East Tennessee," Red Cross’ National President for Humanitarian Services, Trevor Riggin, shared in a statement. "Those hills and hollers are very important to me in so many ways. It is going to take a monumental effort and I am in contact with my team and others working on ways I can help." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital. 

The "Last Night" singer grew up in Tennessee, having graduated from Gibbs High School in Knox County. This isn't the first time the star has given back to the community that helped raised him, as he previously donated $140,000 to the Gibbs Youth Sports program to renovate Ruritan Park earlier this year.
