Lady Gaga decided to give back to people who were displaced due to the California wildfires.

On Tuesday evening, the 32-year-old singer stopped by a Red Cross evacuation center in Los Angeles with boxes of pizza, coffee and gift cards. The day was particularly special for Gaga as it was World Kindness Day, which is also her "favorite day of the year" according to a video posted on Twitter.

The Daily Mail reports the "Bad Romance" songstress spent 90 minutes at the Pacific Palisades High School shelter taking pictures and handing out gift cards, she even sang to a 98-year-old woman who was displaced from her home. She also took time to encourage people to take advantage of the mental health counselors on the site and to "share your stories and talk to each other during this time."

Gaga herself was forced to evacuate her Malibu home Friday. She has been very vocal about the experience on social media, posting that the only thing left to do is "pray together and for each other."

I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I'm sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.

The New York Ti mes reported Tuesday that the Woosley Fire, which is burning west of Los Angeles and swept through Malibu, is 40 percent contained and has burned 97,000 acres. This fire has claimed the lives of two people, while the larger Camp Fire in Northern California has claimed the lives of 48.

On November 17, Global News reported that forensic teams recovered more 5 more bodies in Paradise, California, making that at least 71 civilians killed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Forensic recovery teams searched for more victims in the charred wreckage of the northern California town of Paradise on Saturday as the number of people listed as missing in the state's deadliest wildfire topped 1,000.

President Donald Trump visited the devastated small community in the Sierra foothills, 175 miles (280 km) north of San Francisco, where authorities say the remains of at least 71 people have been recovered.

Paradise was home to nearly 27,000 residents before it was largely incinerated by the blaze on the night of Nov. 8.

"Nobody could have thought this would ever happen," Trump told reporters amid the charred wreckage of the town's Skyway Villa Mobile Home and RV Park.

"This is very sad to see. As far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet," Trump said. "Right now we want to take care of the people who have been so badly hurt."
WATCH: Trump says 'it's total devastation,' thanks responders
Trump was flanked by California Governor Jerry Brown and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom. Brown said the federal government was doing what it needed to do, including supporting first responders and helping with clean-up and search for victims.

The disaster already ranks among the deadliest U.S. wildfires since the turn of the last century. Eighty-seven people perished in the Big Burn firestorm that swept the Northern Rockies in August of 1910. Minnesota's Cloquet Fire in October of 1918 killed 450 people.

Trump has blamed the recent spate of fires on forest mismanagement, and he said he discussed the issue with Brown and Newsom on the ride into Paradise.

"I don't think we'll have this again to this extent," Trump said of the fire. "Hopefully this is going to be the last of these because this was a really, really bad one."
WATCH: Trump blames forest management as he visits California's wildfire zone
Asked whether the scenes of devastation had changed his view on climate change, Trump said: "No. I have a strong opinion. I want great climate and we're going to have that and we're going to have forests that are very safe."

Authorities attribute the high death toll from the blaze - dubbed "Camp Fire" - partly to the speed with which flames raced through the town with little warning, driven by howling winds and fueled by drought-desiccated scrub and trees.

More than a week later, firefighters have managed to carve containment lines around 55 percent of the blaze's perimeter. The fire covered 148,000 acres (60,000 hectares), fire officials said.

Besides the toll on human life, property losses from the blaze make it the most destructive in California history, posing the additional challenge of providing long-term shelter for many thousands of displaced residents.

Evacuees

With more than 9,700 homes up in smoke, many refugees have taken up temporary residence with friends and family, while others have pitched tents or were living out of their vehicles.

At least 1,100 evacuees were being housed in 14 emergency shelters set up in churches, schools and community centers around the region, with a total of more than 47,000 people remaining under evacuation orders, authorities said.

Several shelters are full and, although authorities say they still have space for everyone, hundreds of people have been camping in tents and cars in the area.

Search teams with cadaver dogs have combed through rubble-strewn expanses of burned-out neighborhoods looking for bodies.

On Friday night, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said the remains of eight more fire victims were recovered during the day, bringing the death toll to 71.

Honea said the total roster of people unaccounted for had swelled to 1,011 - more than triple the number counted as missing on Thursday afternoon.

"This is a dynamic list," Honea told reporters, saying it was compiled from "raw data" that likely included some duplications or multiple spellings of names.

Honea bristled when asked whether many of those listed at this point, more than a week after the disaster, were expected to end up either deceased or declared missing and presumed dead.

"I don't think it's appropriate for any of us to sit and speculate about what the future holds," he said. As of Friday, he said, 329 individuals previously reported missing had turned up alive.

List of the missing

The names were being compiled from information received from a special hotline, along with email reports and a review of emergency 911 calls that came in on the first night of the fire, Honea said.

Some listed have likely survived but not yet notified family or authorities. Others may not have been immediately listed because of delays in reporting them.

Weather conditions have since turned more to firefighters' favor, though strong, gusty winds and lower humidity were expected to return late on Saturday through early Sunday ahead of rain forecast for mid-week.

The outbreak of Camp Fire coincided with a series of smaller blazes in Southern California, most notably the Woolsey Fire, which is linked to three fatalities and has destroyed at least 500 structures near the Malibu coast west of Los Angeles. It was 78 percent contained on Friday night.

Scientists have said the growing frequency and intensity of wildfires in California and elsewhere across the West are largely attributable to prolonged drought that is symptomatic of climate change.

The precise causes of the Camp and Woolsey Fires were under investigation, but electric utilities have reported equipment problems in the vicinity of both blazes around the time they erupted.

There are more than 1000 people missing due to the fires since November 17.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More than 1,000 people have been reported missing in a California wildfire which has destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 71, local officials have said.

The death toll rose from 63 on Friday, eight days after the Camp Fire broke out in northern California.

However, the sharp increase in the missing list - from 631 to 1,011 in 24 hours - may not be accurate.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said it was possible it contained duplications.

"I want you to understand that this is a dynamic list," he told reporters.

"The information I am providing you is raw data and we find there is the likely possibility that the list contains duplicate names."

Before and after snapshots

Authorities have also warned that some of those on the list may be fine but unaware people are trying to find them, or unable to call. However, there could also be people among the dead who no-one has yet realised are missing.

The fire - the deadliest in the state's history - has destroyed 142,000 acres (57,000 ha), including most of the town of Paradise, home to 27,000 people.

Rescue workers, aided by cadaver dogs, were continuing to comb what little remained of the town on Friday.

In total, some 47,000 people have been told to evacuate, with those who have fled the fire being houses in emergency shelters, as well as with friends and family, while others are camping.

President Donald Trump is due to travel to California on Saturday to survey the damage and meet those affected.

What's the latest on the firefighting operation?

The California Fire Department says it has now contained about 50% of the Camp Fire blaze.

Officials say they do not expect to fully contain the blaze until the end of the month.

They are also battling several other fires, including the Morgan Fire in Contra Costa County, near San Francisco, the Woolsey Fire in Ventura County near Los Angeles and the smaller Hill Fire, also in Ventura County.

Three more people have also died in the Woolsey Fire.

The worst-hit area is Paradise, with officials saying it will need a "total rebuild" job that will take several years.

Brock Long, administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), said the damage to Paradise was "one of the worst disasters" he had ever seen.

Military troops are assisting forensics teams and cadaver dogs as they continue to search for human remains.

Seven more bodies were found in the town on Friday, the sheriff's office confirmed, while an eighth was found in Magalia, just to the north.

Two of the victims were named as Paula and Randall Dodge, aged 70 and 67, of Paradise. Three others were identified earlier in the week: Ernest Foss, 65, of Paradise, Jesus Fernandez, 48, of Concow, and Carl Wiley, 77, of Magalia.

Officials have warned the search operation could go on for weeks.

Why are the fires burning?

Officials have not yet confirmed what started any of the blazes, as investigations are continuing.

Several people have already filed a lawsuit against a local power company, alleging that the Camp Fire started when a high-voltage transmission line failed.

Watch: Why California wildfires are so deadly

Historically, California's "wildfire season" started in summer and ran into early autumn - but experts have warned that the risk is now year-round.

Low humidity, warm winds, and dry ground after a rain-free month have produced a prime fire-spreading environment.
