The stars came together to raise funds for those who were affected by the fires in Los Angeles.
Musicians all gathered in Los Angeles for the FireAid benefit concert, which was held at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. The goal of the benefit was to rebuild the communities affected by the fires which burned through Los Angeles in January.
Performers included Stevie Nicks, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish and Rod Stewart, as well as many others.
Towards the end of the show, Miles Teller broke his silence after he and his wife, Keleigh Teller, lost their home during the Palisades Fire.

“First I just want to give a shout out, I know there are a lot of first responders here tonight, I know there are a lot watching at home, so thank you all for keeping us safe. Thank you.”
“My wife and I, like a lot of us in the Pacific Palisades, lost our home in the fires and my heart breaks for everyone who has been affected across the city. Truly my heart goes out to all you guys,” Teller said.
Earlier this month, Keleigh took to Instagram to post before-and-after photos of their house, noting in the caption that she regretted leaving her wedding dress behind when she and the actor evacuated before the flames consumed their property.
“If you’re in the LA area PLEASE get out if you can. I wish I grabbed my wedding dress .. wish I did a lot different but it doesn’t matter, stay safe, get out,” Keleigh wrote in part at the time.

Teller was joined on-stage by a neighbor of his, who shared his moving, personal story about how the Palisades Fire affected him and his family. Olivia Rodrigo then took the stage, followed by Sting.
Throughout the evening, residents of the Pacific Palisades community, as well as the Altadena community – which was devastated by the Eaton fire – took the stage to share their experiences.
During the middle of Nicks’ performance, she took a moment to tell the audience a personal story: “I’ve been on the road two solid years, and I’ve just been off for about three weeks before the fires started. I’m gonna go a little bit rogue here and actually talk to you about what happened.”
“I have something here that I have to read because it’s important, but I want you to know for the first time in my life, knowing that I was a full-on Pacific Palisadean woman with an old, beautiful, famous house that was almost taken from me as the fire came up the hill behind my house, and I was pretty sure, as they whisked me away and evacuated me — my least favorite word now — to another safe place, that when I turned around and looked my house would be up in flames,” Nicks said.
“And due to the fact that my house was wood, because it was built in ’38, it would have set the whole rest of the street on both sides on fire. So, she stands strong, just like her mom. And in my opinion, she saved that whole street.
“When I look at her now, I have yet to go back inside. I’ve just walked around the house and seen it. I just go, there is a God, sometimes when everything is lost, you have to go there is a God that saved that house for me because without her, I don’t know what I would have done,” Nicks continued.
The legendary musician then dedicated her second song, “Landslide,” to the firefighters who came down from Santa Rosa who helped save her home.
“Take care of yourselves. We love you,” Nicks said, before the stage began to rotate, moving the musician off the stage.
Prior to Nicks, Stewart kicked off the show at the Intuit Dome. The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer performed two songs during his set, including a new one.
“Because I spent 50 years of my life here,” Stewart told Fox News Digital when asked why he chose to participate in the FireAid benefit. “Fifty years of my life, so I’m a Californian. I know I don’t sound like it, but you know, but there were great days, wonderful days. My children were born here, so of course I have to be here.”
Billie Eilish took the stage with Green Day with photos of first responders playing behind them.
“We are still alive. This is California, and we are all in this together. We love you Los Angeles, and we’ve got your back no matter what,” Green Day’s Billie Joel Armstrong said.
Comedian Billy Crystal took the stage after Green Day’s performance to share a powerful message about how the people of Los Angeles “will laugh again.”
Alanis Morissette walked onto the stage at the Kia Forum singing her hit song, “Hand In My Pocket,” while wearing an “I Heart LA” T-shirt.
She then shared a message of gratitude for all the firefighters and first responders who worked hard to put out the fires, before beginning to sing her hit song “Thank U.” As she sang the song, various Instagram posts shared throughout the past few weeks featuring photos of firefighters and captions expressing thanks flashed on the screen behind her.
