The Weeknd is not only known for being super talented but also for being very dedicated to humanitarian causes.

Over the past week, he cancelled an album release concert so he could focus on the community relief efforts. He put the following on his social media - 

“Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, i am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25th,”

“This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time. In light of this, i have also decided to push the release of my album to January 31st. My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.”

He also just recently made a $1 Million donation to help the LAFD Foundation that will go towards helping with the devastation in both the Palisades and Eaton, GoFundMe's Wildlife Relief Fund, and the LA Regional Food Bank. The money will help not only the firefighters but also, displaced residents and affected families.
