Australian comedian Celeste Barber has rallied citizens of the world to donate to the firefighters on the front lines of Australias wildfire crisis.

Since the Facebook fundraiser was launched Friday, almost 800,000 people from all corners of the globe have donated a fast-growing total of more than $22 million (almost $32 million Australian dollars) to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.

Barber, who is famous for parodying celebrities on Instagram, started the fundraiser after her family was badly struck by fires in the New South Wales south coast town of Eden.

This is my mother in laws house. Its terrifying, she wrote on Instagram to her 6.5 million followers. They are scared. They need your help. International donations can be made via the link in my bio.
