“Good Morning America” will broadcast live from Southern California on Friday as part of ABC News’ expanded “SoCal Strong” coverage.
Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are among the artists headlining a benefit concert called FireAid later this month in an effort to help those affected by the Southern California wildfires.
The fires began on Jan. 7 and have ravaged thousands of acres throughout the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, businesses and more in its path.
At least 25 people have died, more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for, and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate amid the wildfires, which have been fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds.
