Snoop Dogg has praised the dedicated firefighters working to combat the intense wildfires in California.
An ongoing series of 23 blazes have affected Los Angeles and surrounding regions over the past week, with thousands of buildings destroyed, 25 people dead, and 200,000 residents forced to evacuate.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night, California native Snoop lauded the firefighters for taking on the "toughest job" imaginable.
"They don't never get no credit, and they always show up and they do what's best," he began. "And when the job is over with, it's like they're forgotten about. But we need to give them a lot of praise right now - I give them a lot."
Snoop - real name Calvin Broadus - went on to reflect on the show of unity he has experienced within the community.
"California, this is like our first time dealing with (wildfires), and the way the world is helping us - that's the important thing. People aren't looking at differences; they're just looking at trying to make a difference," the 53-year-old continued, noting that his team are collecting donations at his clothing store in Inglewood. "A lot of times when we put these donations together, certain people don't get it. What my team does is go on the ground, make direct connects, and make sure we're not missing anybody. That's what we do - it's about love, man."
Elsewhere in the conversation, Snoop indicated he would be open to participating in a benefit concert to help raise funds for victims of the wildfires.
"There was talks about concerts to raise money for the victims and the people that have lost in this situation," he added. "I think that's more of the angle that I would be leaning towards to do a concert and not be paid and take my proceeds and the proceeds from the tickets and make sure that the people got something."
