Kylie Jenner has left her doctor speechless, after donating $1million to go towards supplying protective equipment for healthcare workers during the coronavirus crisis.
Wanting to help out, Kylie gave a huge donation of $1million (£766,400) that will go towards supplying first responders with protective gear, including face shields and masks, as hospitals are running low.
Her donation was confirmed by Dr Thaïs Aliabadi, who thanked Kylie in a lengthy Instagram post and called the reality star a ‘living angel’.
Alongside a picture of Kylie and her daughter Stormi, Dr Aliabadi wrote: ‘I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true.
‘One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes.
‘I have never felt more blessed to be a doctor, as helping our brave ER and ICU workers feels just as gratifying as helping my own patients.
She finished her message with: ‘From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner ❤️. You are my hero. This generous donation will help save many precious lives. Our world is a better place with you in it. I love you so much. Thank you X a million….’
Confirming the donation, Kylie replied: ‘i love you! and thank YOU for all the love and care you put into everything that you do! you’re an angel on earth.’
Kylie isn’t the only celebrity to help fund relief efforts helping those who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds donated $1million to food banks across the US and Canada, while Kanye West is donating meals to charities in both Chicago and Los Angeles.
Ciara and Russell Wilson have donated one million meals to their local food back in Seattle and US television host Kelly Ripa has donated $1milllion to fund urgently needed ventilators to help treat those who are battling the virus.
Kylie is among the many celebrities now self-isolating under new lockdown measures put in place across the globe to help control the spread of Covid-19.
