Celine Dion took to Instagram to upload a video of support with a caption in English and French that said: 鈥淚'm calling in world leaders to help all those who are forced to leave their homes.鈥 Ellen DeGeneres in her own video urged world leaders to 鈥渄o the right thing and contribute the billions they need.鈥

The campaign has also been joined by players for the NBA's Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies, the band Metallica, Billy Porter, Julian Lennon, Adam Lambert, Luis Fonsi, M脙楼neskin, Padma Lakshmi, Weezer and Rita Ora.
