Superstar Taylor Swift has called on her fans to help raise funds for those affected by the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles, California.

Posting to her 282 million followers on Instagram, Swift said "it's been heartbreaking" to watch how so many families have been "devastated" by the various blazes ripping through Los Angeles for more than a week.

Twenty-five people have been killed in the wildfires, while more than 80,000 are still under evacuation orders.

"The fires in California have devastated so many families, and it's been heartbreaking to see these stories unfold," Swift said.

"So much suffering, loss, and destruction. As so many people embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organisations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild."

Swift told her fans to "please" donate if they were in a position to do so before listing the organisations she has contributed to.
