Meghan Markle made a voice note for Billie Eilish to help LA fires victim

Music cares.

Meghan Markle made a voice note for Billie Eilish, asking for her help in supporting a young victim of the LA wildfires, and the “Birds of a Feather” singer sent back a generous response.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share how she met a young girl while recently touring the devastation of the Eaton Fire in Altadena, Calif. The girl told Markle that the one thing she was hoping she would find when returning to their burned-down home was a t-shirt she got at an Eilish concert that she had left in the family’s washing machine or dryer.

As Markle notes, the t-shirt was obviously destroyed as the dryer and the house were left in ash.

Wanting to help, the LA native recorded a voice note for Eilish, asking if she could send a t-shirt for the royal to give to the young girl.

Admitting that she didn’t know Eilish or how to get the message to her, the Duchess started asking her friends to see if anyone knew the two-time Oscar winner. Thankfully, someone in her network did — none other than Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo.

What happened next left Markle stunned. Eilish sent Meghan a whole package of merch to give to the young girl.

“About 2 or 3 weeks ago, when my husband and I were in Altadena, we went to a community where all the homes were left in ashes,” Markle said in the video of her and Prince Harry’s visit on Jan. 10.

“This mom had found a couple of things, and as I was talking to her, I turned and looked and I saw this young woman and I said, ‘My God, how old are you?’” the former “Suits” star recalled.

“She’s 15. She lives there. And her mom shared something with me, and said that when they came back to see their house for the first time, which was as we were meeting them, that all that she’d been looking for in her home was the t-shirt from the Billie Eilish concert that she had just gone to, that she left in the washing machine or the dryer.”

Meghan continued, noting, “of course, they now see their home, and the washing machine and the dryer are ash. They’re not there anymore.”

“And so I said, ‘I don’t know Billie Eilish. But I’m going to figure out how to get you this shirt.’ So I thought of everybody that I knew and I made a voice note and I was like, ‘Please, can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish? Here’s what I’m asking.’”

The video then cuts to show the stack of merch Eilish, 23, sent over.

“And so I said, ‘I don’t know Billie Eilish. But I’m going to figure out how to get you this shirt,’” Meghan recalled. meghan/Instagram

An overwhelmed Markle exclaimed, “You guys! I don’t even know what all this stuff means!”

Picking up a record autographed by Eilish, Markle said, “It’s signed for her!”

Holding up a Billie Eilish-branded lunch box, Meghan commented “Is that a thing? A lunch box thing? I don’t know. This is when I feel really old.”

Praising the “Ocean Eyes” singer, the Duchess added, “Huge ‘thank you,’ Billie Eilish. This is going to mean so much to her.”

“And honestly, to Adam Levine and Behati: you guys helped get this over the line,” she effused.

“To everyone who is showing up for people in big and small ways to get through what’s happened in California. Just thank you so much. I’m going to go and email her mom now. Just wanted to share that with you guys.”

Meghan captioned the post, “Let’s keep supporting those affected by the California wildfires. Thanks to everyone who made this possible but most importantly, thank you to our first responders who are the community’s real heroes.”

She signed the post, “As ever, Meghan.”

This isn’t the first time the Duchess of Sussex has helped young victims of the LA fires.

Shortly after her and Harry’s visit to Altadena, Markle dropped off donations and volunteered at a relief center in the Los Angeles suburb, run by Altadena Girls, a grassroots organization founded by an eighth-grade girl whose school burned down in the Eaton Fire.

A source told The Post at the time that Meghan’s donations were provided through her and Prince Harry’s charitable Archewell Foundation, named for their son, Prince Archie, 5.

The insider also shared that the former actress brought new clothing and beauty products and stuck around to volunteer her time.

Meghan also brought lunch for her fellow volunteers and helped teen fire victims as they looked through the donations, having conversations with the young girls and providing overall support, per the source.
