Actress Hilary Duff decided to donate $250,000 to help the victims of hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast. According to a statement released by Duff's publicist, Cece Yorke, Hillary will donate $200,000 to the American Red Cross and $50,000 to USA Harvest.

"It's heartbreaking to see the devastation on TV. People are missing family members, and they have absolutely nothing left, not even food or water," said Duff today. "I want to do everything I can to help those who have survived to help rebuild their lives."

Duff's screen credits include "The Lizzie McGuire Movie", "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "A Cinderella Story".

Hilary is not the only celebrity that wants to support the families of the victims. Nicolas Cage announced today he will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross and actor Morgan Freeman helps up an Internet auction to raise funds for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
