Among celebrities such as Madonna and Ben Stiller, thousands donated to a fundraiser for victims of the New Zealand terrorist attack.
The GoFundMe page reached $ 77,000 on its US $ 100,000 goal after being created by Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager and U2 group, who pledged $ 18,000 himself.
Actor Stiller, filmmaker Judd Apatow and actor Ashton Kutcher each pledged $ 1,000.
Actor Chris Rock also donated $ 5,000. Madonna promised $ 10,000.
Mr. Oseary wrote on the page: "I read scary details and I could hardly find the strength to watch a short excerpt from the disturbing sequence. My heart breaks for the victims and their families …
"We will work with GoFundMe to ensure that all funds are transferred to an organization providing support to families and the community.
"We will provide additional information on the distribution of funds as soon as they become available and we are actively seeking out the best organizations in New Zealand to receive what is being collected."
