The “Joanne” singer, 32, visited a makeshift Red Cross shelter at the Pacific Palisades High School on Sunday,according to TMZ. Over the course of 90 minutes, Mother Monster reportedly handed out gift cards, posed for photos, and sang to a 98-year-old woman in order to bolster the spirits of the evacuee.
“I extend my love,” Gaga told those seeking shelter. “I know we do not know each other, but I love you. This is an emergency, but you are not alone.”
A passionate advocate for mental health, Gaga urged those seeking treatment to speak to the mental health counselors available at the shelter, and also to “share your stories and talk to each other during this time.”

I’m sitting here with man of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.”
