Selena Gomez has been busy handing out food to victims of the California wildfires.
The Only Murders In The Building star shared video footage from a makeshift donation section in a parking lot in the Santa Monica area near the Pacific Ocean.
She flashed her engagement ring from Benny Blanco as she zoomed in on the food from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills.
Her future husband Blanco – who shared photos of his lady love on the scene – wore a face mask and a blue hoodie as he worked near the layout of lunch offerings.
The food was donated to feed those who have been displaced by the fires as well as the emergency workers who have been battling the flames in areas including Los Angeles and Malibu.
She added a clip of first responders and added the caption: ‘Grateful for these individuals.’
Selena’s cosmetics company Rare Beauty has also made donations to relief efforts and has been distributing emergency care kits to those affected.
