NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Several musicians and celebrities have come together to help the victims of the devastating Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne donated almost $190,000 to Britain's Disasters Emergency Committee during a charity drive on New Year's Eve that raised more than $110 million, reports Rollingstone.com.
Hollywood has also done its part. On Monday, Sandra Bullock donated $1 million to the Red Cross International Response Fund to help purchase much-needed medical supplies. Bullock donated a similar amount to the Red Cross following the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11.
Leonardo DiCaprio made an unspecified "large" donation to UNICEF. He starred in the 2000 movie "The Beach," filmed on the Thai resort island of Phi Phi, which was ravaged by a tsunami.
NBC has announced plans for a Jan.15 telethon to raise money for the tsunami victims.
And taking a cue from Bob Geldof, the man who organized Live Aid in 1985, British promoters are working on plans for a large benefit concert in Wales, the United States and Australia.
