As Hurricane Irma makes its way toward southern Florida this weekend, people are doing what they can to protect themselves and their families. And America’s Sweetheart Kristen Bell is doing her part to help. She’s filming Like Father in Orlando right now, where evacuees from the state’s coastal areas are fleeing, and bunkering down at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, where she’s staying while she films.
On Friday, she posted a picture of her last run for Irma supplies: “Last run to the store for #irma hurricane holdover prep while bracing down in orlando- we didn’t have the option to leave so here we are,” she wrote. “Just doing our best and trying to stay positive but cautious, and trying to help those who need help prepping. Every person i passed today was assisting someone else- #neighborshelpingneighbors – it was beautiful to see. Sad that a hurricane has to bring out the best in everyone- but happy that the community will be holding hands through this. Im grateful to Gary and the team at @swandolphin in epcot for helping us feel safe while we get through this together.”
But Bell also gave back to some very special people in need: she was able to swing a room for Frozen co-star and Florida native Josh Gad’s “entire family”—niece and nephews included. “So @kristenanniebell literally saved my parents and my entire family tonight from #hurricaneirma,” Gad wrote on Instagram. “When they were stranded in Florida, she got them a hotel room at her hotel in Orlando and saved them, my brothers, my sister-in-law and niece and nephew. They don’t make them like this girl. Thank you Kristin. You are truly an angel sent from above. And thank you @ewablueeyes for bother her when I asked you not to!!!!”
He also took to Twitter to share the news. “No joke,” Gad tweeted on Friday. “@IMKristenBell just literally saved my parents, my brothers and entire family from #HurricaineIrma – you are an angel. I adore you.”
Way to rock that #neighborshelpingneighbors philosophy, Kristen.
