The coronavirus pandemic has devastated many people around the world financially. Lockdowns and social isolation have resulted in mass redundancies, putting people into a precarious financial situation during what is already a difficult time.

Now, Jeffree Star has given away $30,000 to a struggling fan on Twitter.

In a tweet, he wrote: "I'm going to give away $30,000 to 1 random person who retweets this tweet AND follows Twitter Philanthropist @Pulte and Me!! (If you don't follow us, we can't DM you the money) Will show proof! Much love."

The lucky chosen fan was given the news on Facetime where she understandably burst into tears. The fan in question was mom-of-two Aurora.

This is the incredible moment Star told a fan he was giving her $30,000 to see her through the pandemic: 

In the clip above, Aurora tells Star how much of a difference the donation will make to her life, saying: "I won't be in debt anymore... I won't have to struggle paying my bills. I can put some money aside for both of my kids now."

However, this is far from the only act of kindness that Star has carried out during the pandemic. He's been sharing the love with a lot of people.

After one fan told him that he was unable to pay his bills this month, the makeup mogul sent him $1,200.

Sharing a screenshot of the transaction, Star wrote: "Don't EVER be embarrassed by your financial situation… Love you and I hope this helps."

Meanwhile, when a single mom told him that she'd lost her job, he sent her $250.

"My @CashApp account has been verified!" he wrote. "Hope this helps Brit #JeffreeStarApproved."

Star even showed his appreciation for his delivery driver during this time, tipping him a whopping $1,000.

In a tweet, he wrote: "I appreciate every single person who is willing or able to deliver food during this horrible time… I just tipped my driver $1,000 and said a huge THANK YOU."

Star is not the only celebrity to share the love during this time. Britney Spears has also been helping out her struggling fans financially too.
