Assistance from other international stars pours in for the victims of super typhoon “Yolanda.”


Actress Jessica Alba and her team from The Honest Company, a non-toxic and ecofriendly household product corporation, made a generous donation through Operation USA, which they delivered in Los Angeles.


Singer-actress Barbra Streisand and her charity, The Streisand Foundation, pledged a “major” financial donation.


In an interview on ANC’s “The Bureau,” Mel Gibson committed to help in fundraising activities through Mending Kids International (MKI), an organization that aid sick and poor children worldwide.


“I’m still sorry, you know, God bless you (Philippines). I hope you can put it back together; there’s been a tremendous loss of lives. It’s hard even to be able to say anything,” he said of the catastrophe.


Singer-actress Nia Peeples related in the same interview on “The Bureau” that “I was actually thinking about who was gonna call to say what kind of fundraiser we can do for that, it’s tragic.”


Kiss band member Gene Simmons expressed willingness to do the same.


“We’re gonna be doing some work to try not just to raise awareness but funds. Our hearts and prayers go out to everybody (in the Philippines),” he was quoted as saying.


The rock bass guitarist added: “It’s probably time for all the countries in the world to realize we are one.”


Early this week, right after the typhoon struck, Hollywood stars from Josh Duhamel and David Archuleta to Rihanna and George Clooney tweeted messages of love and support for the calamity victims.
