It’s unfathomable to think of all of the things people lost in the Los Angeles wildfires, but Meghan Markle is doing what she can to help – and this time, she enlisted the help of a fellow celebrity. In a new post she shared on Instagram, Meghan revealed that Billie Eilish helped her surprise a teen who lost her home, including her treasured merch from Billie’s concert, and they truly went above and beyond at a time when these communities need it the most.

Meghan and Prince Harry have been volunteering in efforts to help the wildfire victims.
Though they were fortunate enough that their Montecito home wasn’t in the path of the wildfires, Harry and Meghan have been pitching in to help those who were affected, and that means they’ve had the chance to talk to plenty of people who lost everything in the fires.
Entire communities have been completely decimated, which means thousands of families have lost their homes and vehicles, along with their belongings – including the smaller items that still mean so much.
One conversation Meghan had with a teen struck a chord with her.
In a video that Meghan shared on Instagram on Tuesday, she said she met a mom and her 15-year-old daughter while in Altadena and was touched by their story.
“When they came back to see their house for the first time, which is as we were meeting them, all she’d been looking for in her home was the T-shirt from the Billie Eilish concert that she had just gone to that she left in the washing machine or the dryer,” Meghan said in the video. “Of course, they now see their home and the washing machine and the dryer are ash; they’re not there anymore.”
Although Meghan admitted she doesn’t know Billie Eilish personally, she promised that she would find a way to replace that missing shirt – and boy did she ever!

Meghan racked her brain for everyone she knew who might have a connection to Billie and reached out to them all. Not only did she get her message to Billie, but the musician also did a lot more than just replace the missing shirt.
As we can see in Meghan’s video, Billie sent a huge box of merchandise, including multiple shirts and sweatshirts, a lunch box, and a signed vinyl.
“I don’t even know what all this stuff means, but it’s signed for her!” Meghan said, excitedly showing off the pile.
At the end of the video, she revealed who finally helped her connect with Billie: Adam Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, who Meghan said “helped get this over the line.”
“To everyone who is showing up for people in big and small ways to get through what’s happened in California, just thank you so much!” she said. “I’m going to go and email her mom now!”
There’s no doubt that this package will cheer up this teenager after she and her family have been having such a hard time. During this heartbreaking tragedy, it really is wonderful to see the ways people are stepping up to help others.
