Morgan Wallen donates to Hurricane Helene relief and says family is 'safe' amid devastating flooding.

Morgan Wallen gives something back.

The country superstar donated $500,000 to the Red Cross through the Morgan Wallen Foundation. The money will go towards supporting those affected by the massive destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.

“We cannot thank Morgan Wallen enough for his heart and generous donation of $500,000 to provide relief now on the ground in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene, including his beloved East Tennessee,” said Trevor Riggin , national president of the Red Cross Humanitarian Services, shared in a statement.

The “Last Night” singer grew up in Tennessee and graduated from Gibbs High School in Knox County. This isn't the first time the star has given back to the community that raised him, as he previously donated $140,000 to the Gibbs Youth Sports program to renovate Ruritan Park earlier this year.

Although Wallen has since left East Tennessee after finding success as a country star in Nashville, he hasn't forgotten his roots. In an Instagram Story posted Sunday, Wallen shared an update on his family's safety and sent his “prayers” to those who weren't so lucky.

“My family in East Tennessee is safe, but I know many there and in several states are absolutely devastated. All my prayers are with her tonight,” Wallen wrote. “These hills and calls are very important to me in many ways. It will take a tremendous effort and I am in touch with my team and others and working on how I can help.”
