Australia has been plagued by terrible wildfires, which currently show no signs of abating.

Experts have called the fires "apocalyptic," via CBS News, worsened in part by climate change and dry weather conditions. The New York Times reported, "This season's fires have stretched crews battling deadly blazes across the continent made worse by tinder dry conditions caused by a three-year drought in many areas." FOX reported that almost 15 million acres have already burned, with the highly-populated eastern and southern coasts most affected.

Celebrities have been taking to social media to support everyone affected by the fires, as the mass evacuation of people and animals continues across the region. Kate Middleton and Prince William showed their support to everyone in Australia by sharing a tweet which read, "Our followers in Australia can find out the latest information on the fires by following the accounts on this list... As the devastating fires continue our thoughts remain with those impacted and those working heroically to fight them."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a link to a list of organizations and charities providing updated information on Australia's fires.

Per E! News, a plethora of celebs have already showed their support for individuals affected, including Australians Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackson, and Nicole Kidman.
