    Halle Berry is donating her "entire closet" to help victims of the California wildfires

    The Hollywood actress sprung into action after seeing fellow screen star Sharon Stone post an appeal for donations to help those who have lost everything in the disaster - which has claimed 10 lives and burned thousands of homes to the ground in southern California - and Halle urged others to help by bringing donations to the COOP store in Los Angeles.


    In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "I'm packing up my entire closet and heading over to the COOP! If you live in the Southern California area, I urge you to do the same. This is something we can do right now today to help all of the displaced families that are in need of the basics today! Thank you @sharonstone for your leadership. Love you Lady."

    In a video posted on the platform, Halle added: "A group of thoughtful, committed citizens can make a difference. We're at COOP at 7282 Beverly Boulevard collecting gently used clothing for kids, men, women, children, people that have been displaced, affected by the fire.

    We have beautiful cashmere sweaters, jeans, new socks, shoes, clothes, blankets ... You can come and shop and you can also donate."

    Sharon previously appealed for donations on her Instagram page appealing for "gently used" clothing, hats, shoes and gloves as well as new underwear and socks.

    Jenna Cooper - who runs COOP - reveals she was inspired to help after realised the disaster was unfolding so close to home.

    She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was nauseous and awake being just miles away from such wreckage. I kept thinking, what the hell can I do? ...

    "People need stuff immediately and there are people who are willing to shop for them or to donate. Well, I have a space to make it happen ...

    "My community has nice things so we're basically giving the shirts off of our back. We set it up to feel like a curated space.

    "The Red Cross is amazing, but this is a way we are taking care of the community in a way where they can feel comfortable and get way they need. Come in, take what you want or tell us what you need and we will find it."
