Miley Cyrus broke down on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and it was revealed that the singer donated $500,000 to relief efforts.

“It just really makes me really upset,” Cyrus said, fighting back tears. “So, I really hope people know — I couldn’t fake it, you know — my grandma’s sitting here, and my mom’s sitting here, and I go home to my seven dogs, and if I didn’t have that anymore, it’d be really hard.”

She continued: “So, I’m really happy to help in any way that I can, and I hope that people understand, and can put themselves in those people’s shoes, and just know what it feels like to have everything taken away from you.”
