00:00I was just told that something arrived that I had been waiting for.
00:04Oh my god.
00:08About two or three weeks ago, when my husband and I were in Altadena,
00:12we went to a community where all the homes were left in ashes.
00:18This mom had found a couple things and as I was talking to her
00:23I turned and looked and I saw this young woman and I said,
00:26Oh my gosh, how old are you? She's 15. She lived there.
00:30And her mom shared something with me and said
00:33that when they came back to see their house for the first time,
00:36which was as we were meeting them,
00:38that all that she'd been looking for in her home
00:42was the t-shirt from the Billie Eilish concert that she had just gone to
00:47that she left in the washing machine or the dryer.
00:50And of course, they now see their home in the washing machine,
00:52the dryer or ash, they're not there anymore.
00:54And so I said, I don't know Billie Eilish,
00:56but I'm going to figure out how to get you this shirt.
00:58So I thought of everybody that I knew and I made a voice note
01:02and I was like, please can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish?
01:04Here's what I'm asking.
01:05You guys, I don't even know what all this stuff means,
01:09but it's signed for her.
01:12Is that a thing? A lunchbox thing?
01:14I don't know. This is when I feel really old.
01:16Huge thank you, Billie Eilish.
01:17This is going to mean so much to her and honestly to Adam Levine and Behati.
01:23You guys helped get this over the line.
01:25To everyone who's showing up for people in big and small ways
01:28to get through what's happened in California, just thank you so much.
01:33I'm going to go and email her mom now.
01:35Just wanted to share that with you guys.
