    Jhené Aiko's wellness brand Jhenetics is offering free massages to the first responders tackling the Los Angeles wildfires

    The 36-year-old singer - who has son Noah, two, with fellow musician Big Sean and a 16-year-old daughter from a previous relationship - lost her home in the Palisades Fire and is giving back to the firefighters working on the frontline amid the Southern California blazes


    She shared on her brand's Instagram: "Thank you to our first responders, those who have spent days away from their families, working tirelessly to protect us. We hope this small gesture of gratitude makes a difference during these long shifts."

    At least 27 people are known to have died in the devastating fires - which began in the Pacific Palisades on January 7 - and 20 people are missing after hurricane-force winds drove the fires across Los Angeles, forcing 180,000 residents to flee their homes.

    Jhené and her children's home was among those destroyed in the fires, and she admitted her "heart is so heavy".

    She said at the time: "Me and my children's home is gone. Burned to the ground with all our things inside. Lord have mercy. Thankful we still have each other. Starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy."

    Fellow musicians including Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Beyonce have donated to the relief efforts.

    Taylor, 35, wrote on Instagram: "The fires in California have devastated so many families, and it's been heartbreaking to see these stories unfold.

    "So much suffering, loss, and destruction. As so many people embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organizations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild."

    'Blinding Lights' hitmaker The Weeknd - whose real name is Abel Tesfaye - donated $1 million and Beyonce $2.5 million.

    The 34-year-old singer's offering was split between The Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, GoFundMe's Wildfire Relief Fund and the LA Regional Food Bank.

    The chart-topping star made the donations in partnership with World Food Program USA and XO, The Weeknd's humanitarian fund.

    Beyonce, 43, gave the generous sum to LA Fire Relief Fund through her BeyGOOD Foundation.
