Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton criticized the benefit concert FireAid for not getting enough donations directly to the Los Angeles fires victims.

FireAid was a concert held in January, days after the Palisades and Eaton fires were active for 24 days as it burned a combined 37,000 acres, damaged over 16,000 structures, and resulted in 17 deaths. While the concert raised $100 million and has distributed $75 million to date, Hilton appeared on Jesse Watters Primetime to lament that the money went to organizations over victims.
