Country singer Keith and wife and Hollywood star Nicole are extending an amount of USD 500,000 in an effort to make the crisis conditions better.

The 52-year-old singer shared the news of their standing in solidarity on Twitter in the early hours of Sunday and wrote: "Our family's support, thoughts, and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires all over Australia. We are donating $500,000 to the Rural Fire Services who are all doing and giving so much right now. - KU"
