Jamie Oliver hands out free food, BB’s Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace offers shelter and Caroline Flack takes supplies to the victims of Grenfell tower block fire
CELEBRITIES including Jamie Oliver, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Caroline Flack are joining the efforts to help the victims of the Grenfell tower block fire.
A devastating fire ripped through the tower block in West London during the night killing six residents – with more feared dead – as firefighters desperately worked to tackle the flames.
Families were trapped inside the burning building for hours as emergency services scrambled to rescue them and hundreds of residents have been displaced as a result of the horrific fire.
Now celebs are doing their best to help those left with nothing after the 24-storey building went up in flames.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is offering free meals and shelter at his restaurant in the Westfield shopping centre, which is just over a mile away from the Grenfell tower.
Sharing a picture of the smoking building on Instagram, Jamie wrote: "To any of the 100's of FAMILIES effected by this terrible fire at Grenfell Tower Notting hill today, You are all welcome to come hang out in my restaurant and be fed and watered by my Jamies Italian team.
"We are in the Westfield just around the corner. Food and drink free of charge so just go and speak to my manager Juan and we will sort you out and give you some love .... this is for victims of the fire our thoughts, love and prayers are with you all big love jamie x x x x" (sic).
Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who owns a number of investment properties across London, offered accommodation to a family in need.
She tweeted: "I have a flat in kings cross free until the 1st July any family who've lost their home can stay there for free please msg me #grenfelltower".
Just last month, the reality star pledged to help the families of the victims of the terror attacks in Manchester by paying for their hotel rooms.
Meanwhile, Love Island host Caroline Flack has told pals she'll be bringing supplies and doing what she can to help victims when she visits the Westway Sports Centre this afternoon.
She'll be joined by presenter Anna Williamson at the the gym where donations are being collected for those affected by the blaze.
