Puerto Rico: Jennifer Lopez donates $1 million to aid hurricane victims

Jennifer Lopez has pledged $1 million to aid victims of the hurricanes that have devastated Puerto Rico.

Following a plea to the public for donations via several videos posted on her social media accounts, the singer/actress joined New York governor Andrew Cuomo at a press conference announcing aid to the stricken island.

Her personal donation will be taken from the proceeds of her residency shows in Las Vegas.

"What's foremost in my mind and many others, is trying to figure out the best way to help," she said in a statement.

"Our island of Puerto Rico has been his by two of the most devastating hurricanes we've ever seen: Irma and Maria. Today, Puerto Rico needs our help. I urge you to support and donate to the efforts of the first lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rossello."
