Katy Perry didn’t have the best 2024, with her latest album flopping hard and her lawsuit against a disabled veteran causing a huge stir on social media.

And the new year hasn’t gotten off to the best start for the former American Idol judge either, as she is being mocked online following rumors that she wants to donate the proceeds from her latest album to the victims of the devastating L.A. fires.

Katy Perry Reportedly Wants To Donate '143' Revenue To Los Angeles Fire Victims

Many A-listers have responded to the L.A. fires, with Beyoncé's BeyGood Foundation pledging $2.5M and Leonardo DiCaprio donating $1M to help the Los Angeles Fire Department and the California Fire Foundation, to give just two examples.

Paris Hilton launched an emergency fund via her nonprofit organization 11:11 Media Impact, while Halle Berry reportedly donated her entire wardrobe, to give two more examples.

The 40-year-old "Roar" singer also wanted to get involved, according to reports, and pledged all of the profits from her latest album ,143, to the victims. However, many people referenced the fact that the album flopped on social media!

Social Media Drags Katy Perry Due To Her Album's Poor Sales

"Tf is LA gonna do with $38?" quipped one X user, to which a second replied: "Oh you're being generous and rounding up now." A third user joked: "Probably overshot it with $38."

"So zero dollars?" echoed a fourth X user, as a fifth concurred, writing: "What's that total to? $7?" "So basically nothing?" another person asked, while someone else joked: "Wow she donated a whole $27? That's so kind of her." "One firefighter will now have Cheetos mentos and a diet Dr. P. Thanks Katy," commented another.

Others did come to the "Woman's World" singer's defense, with one fan writing: "Yall so mean. I love you Katy." "True generosity! Katy Perry leading with her heart, supporting California fire victims," gushed a second, as a third said: "She is an icon."
