Imagine Dragons está ayudando a la familia de un chico ucraniano de 15 años a reconstruir su casa, después de que el lugar fuera destruido por la guerra aún en curso en su país.

Sashko es el adolescente de Ucrania que aparece en el video musical de la canción "Crushed". El video y la canción se convirtieron en un gran éxito en gran parte debido a la historia de Sashko, que lo perdió todo a manos de las fuerzas rusas.

El hogar del niño fue completamente destruido durante la primavera de 2022. Poco después, el director de fotografía de Imagine Dragons, Ty Arnold, conoció a Sashko durante un viaje a Ucrania, se sintió conmovido por su historia y quiso dar a conocer al mundo los horrores que estaba enfrentando.

El video musical provocó donaciones masivas a UNITED24, una plataforma lanzada por el Presidente Zelensky para recoger donaciones para los ucranianos, con la que Imagine Dragons se asoció.

UNITED24 utilizó los fondos para pagar toda la restauración de la casa de Sashko y nos dicen que Ty entregó las llaves de la casa la semana pasada a Sashko y su madre.

Imagine Dragons is helping a 15-year-old Ukrainian boy's family get their home back together .... after the place was destroyed during the ongoing war in his country.

Sashko is the teenager from Ukraine who was featured in the music video for the band's song, "Crushed" ... the video and song became a huge hit in large part due to Sashko's story about losing everything at the hands of Russian forces.

The boy's home was completely obliterated in 2022. Shortly after the Imagine Dragons' Director of Photography Ty Arnold met Sashko during a trip to Ukraine and was moved by Sashko's story ... and wanted to let the world know about the horrors Sashko faced.

The music video sparked massive donations to UNITED24 -- a platform launched by President Zelensky to collect donations for Ukrainian's -- because Imagine Dragons teamed up with the organization.

Thanks to the Imagine Dragons video, UNITED24 found a private donor to rebuild Sashko's house.

UNITED24 used the funds to pay for the entire restoration of Sashko's house ... and we're told Ty handed over the keys to the rebuilt home last week to Sashko and his mother.

Un surfista adolescente murió trágicamente el jueves tras ser atacado por un tiburón en el sur de Australia y un testigo dice que el horrible incidente ocurrió justo en frente a su padre.

La policía de Australia Meridional informó en un comunicado de que había recibido el aviso del ataque sobre las 13:30 horas en la playa de Ethel, en el Parque Nacional de Innes, pero cuando los médicos llegaron al lugar, dijeron que lamentablemente el niño había fallecido.

Un transeúnte le dijo al Adelaide Advertiser que el adolescente había estado en el agua con su padre jugando con las olas cuando un tiburón de repente tomó su pierna.

"Otro chico salió corriendo, saltó sobre su tabla y remó para ayudarle", le dijo el testigo al medio.

"El tiburón los estaba rodeando mientras el chico sacaba al niño del agua. Había mucha sangre. Lo llevó a la orilla, pero creo que ya era demasiado tarde".

Trágicamente, éste es el quinto ataque de tiburón que se registra este año en Australia Meridional y los avistamientos de estas criaturas marinas han sido frecuentes en la zona recientemente.

A teenage surfer tragically died on Thursday after he was mauled by a shark in South Australia ... and a witness says the horrifying incident all went down right in front of the boy's father.

South Australia Police said in a statement they received reports of the attack at around 1:30 PM at Ethel Beach in the Innes National Park ... but, sadly, when medics arrived on the scene, they said the boy had passed.

A bystander at the beach told the Adelaide Advertiser ... the teen had been out in the water with his father catching waves -- when a shark suddenly took his leg.

"Another local guy ran out, jumped on his board, and paddled out to help him," the witness told the outlet.

"The shark was circling them as the guy pulled the boy out of the water. There was a lot of blood. He brought him to shore but I think it was too late by then."

Tragically, this is the fifth reported shark attack this year in South Australia ... and sightings of the sea creatures have been common in the area recently.

In fact, a teacher was just killed by a shark at Walkers Rock in May -- which is just west of where the teen died Thursday.

Big Hit is downplaying the notion he's actively gangbanging after his viral freestyle said quite the opposite ... but he still wants fans to tackle life with the same tough-nosed approach!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Hit-Boy's father outside L.A. Fitness in Hollywood on Wednesday where he elaborated on his recent bangfest on wax.

Remember ... BH recently went nutty over Mobb Deep's "Get Away" instrumental, rhyming "bang" with every other word -- and he tells us the term is simply a macho expression that no longer motivates beef between Crips or Bloods ... at least in his eyes.

Bang on your job, bang on the schoolbooks, bang bang like Pops from "Boomerang" ... whatever you choose, do it to standard is Big Hit's motto here.

BH wasted no time dropping his debut "The Truth Is In My Eyes" -- where he managed to snag a Snoop Dogg feature -- and some friendly advice on how to stay jail-free.

The OG was released from prison this summer after serving a 9-year bid for gun possession, but he's scoffing at the folks who are telling him he's too old for this behavior.

Before this brother-sister duo decked out in Christmas swag turned into music machines, they were just getting psyched for Christmas, runnin' around their house in Highland Park, California and making magical tunes!

Prior to becoming stars themselves, they both enjoyed watching performances on "American Idol" and "The Voice." In 2020, you may remember them posing next to each other with a handful of Grammys. And, they've both partaken in comedic skits on "Saturday Night Live".

Need one more clue? Spiders, dogs and cats are just a few animals and pets both these siblings love!

Antes de que este dúo de hermanas Navideñas se convirtieran en máquinas musicales, se estaban mentalizando para la Navidad, correteando por su casa de Highland Park, California, ¡y creando melodías mágicas!

Antes de convertirse en estrellas, ambas disfrutaban viendo actuaciones en "American Idol" y "The Voice". En 2020, quizá las recuerdes posando con un puñado de Grammys. Ambas han participado en sketches cómicos en "Saturday Night Live".

¿Necesitas una pista más? Arañas, perros y gatos son solo algunos de los animales y mascotas que adoran estas hermanas.

Una pareja de Washington parece haber adoptado extraoficialmente a un mapache cojo, lo que ha horrorizado a su hija... pero ha cautivado los corazones de miles de personas en Internet.

La presentadora de deportes de la radio de Seattle, Stacy Jo Rost, ha documentado durante todo el fin de semana a esta bola de pelo a la que llama "Pequeño Rick", en honor a su padrastro. Dice que, después de tener que sacrificar al perro de la familia hace dos años, Rick padre y su madre han recurrido al mapache para sobrellevar la situación.

Básicamente, sus padres han recurrido a alimentar a Ricky. El mapache de un año va a su propiedad con regularidad para comer y al parecer tiene un horario establecido.

Stacy publicó un montón de videos capturando los hábitos alimenticios del pequeño Rick, incluyendo algunos intentos apresurados de pedir más bocados y arañando la ventana en lo que parece un intento de entrar. ¡Incluso intentó morder el dedo de Stacy a través del cristal de la ventana!

Stacy dice que sus padres encontraron a Rick cuando era pequeño y se dieron cuenta de que su pata trasera estaba herida. Por lo tanto, parece que empezaron a atenderlo (tomando cierta distancia) y ahora, el pequeño viene a su casa como un lugar de consuelo y comida.

Como dijimos, se puede decir que Stacy no es una gran fan de esto, señalando que es, de hecho, un animal salvaje y no una mascota, a pesar de que su mamá y papá parecen estar tratándolo como uno.

Curiosamente, si te metes en la tendencia del pequeño Rick en Tuiter... verás una buena cantidad de gente apoyando a los padres adoptivos humanos y argumentando que Stacy está siendo dura.

An older couple in Washington appears to have unofficially taken a hobbled raccoon into their care -- which has horrified their daughter ... but captured the hearts of thousands online.

Seattle sports radio host Stacy Jo Rost has documented this fur ball all weekend, who she calls "Little Rick" ... named after her stepdad. She says after having to put their family dog down 2 years ago, Rick Sr. and her mom have turned to the raccoon as a way to cope.

Basically, her folks have resorted to feeding Ricky here ... and the 1-year-old raccoon comes over to their property regularly for his meals, which are scheduled and on the dot, it seems.

Stacy posted a ton of videos capturing Little Rick's eating habits, including some hasty attempts at asking for more morsels ... by scratching at the window in what looks like an attempt to come inside. He even tried biting at Stacy's finger through the window pane!

Stacy says her parents found Rick when he was tiny, and they noticed his back leg was injured. So, it sounds like they started to attend to him -- from a bit of a distance, though -- and now ... LR comes by their place as a place of comfort and food, limping at that.

Like we said, you can tell SJR is not a huge fan of this ... pointing out it is, in fact, a wild animal and not a pet -- even though her mom and dad seem to be treating it like one.

Funny enough, if you hop into the Little Rick trend on Twitter ... you'll see a fair amount of people actually supporting the adoptive human parents, and arguing Stacy's being harsh.

Beyoncé's childhood home went up in flames on Christmas Day.

Officials say at around 2 AM, they responded to reports of a fire at the home, located in the city's Third Ward.

The two-story house was in flames, but first responders put out the fire in roughly 10 minutes.

Thankfully the family -- a couple with two young kids -- were able to evacuate the house. No one was injured.

As we previously reported ... Beyoncé's family bought the house way back in 1981 for $64k, but they moved out just a few years later, before Solange was born in 1986.

The house went up for sale in 2019. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, with a spiral staircase leading to a third-floor office space.

Antes de que estas tres hermanas aparecieran en sus televisores, ya estaban preparándose para las fiestas mientras vivían sus mejores días en Beverly Hills, iban al instituto en Bel Air y salían con sus amigos famosos.

Estas tres lujosas damas no son madres comunes y corrientes... son conocidas por su sentido de la moda. Y, con tantas marcas y empresas a sus espaldas... si fueran las dueñas de la Navidad, ¡se llamaría Kristmas!

Before these 3 sisters dressed in matching Christmas 'fits were on your television screens, they were getting stoked for the holiday season -- while livin' their best lives in Beverly Hills -- going to high school in Bel-Air and hanging out with their famous friends.

All 3 of these lavish ladies are not your regular moms ... they're known for their fashion sense and will definitely pull up in a blinged-out whip! And, with so many brands and companies under their belt ... if they were to own Christmas, it'd be called Kristmas!

DC Young Fly está manteniendo la fe en esta temporada festiva, a pesar de que tuvo un año difícil, marcado por la pérdida de su pareja desde hace mucho tiempo Jacky Oh y su hermana.

Hablando con TMZ en LAX, nos dijo que su atención se ha centrado en hacer especial la Navidad para sus 3 hijos, los que compartía con Jacky. Y le está dando prioridad a rezar un montón durante su tiempo juntos en familia.

Él dice que siempre y cuando seas fiel y obediente al corazón de Dios, todo va a estar bien, incluso en momentos de dolor y agonía.

DC ciertamente pasó por mucho de eso este año. TMZ reveló que su compañera Jacky había muerto como resultado de complicaciones de un procedimiento estético (Brazilian butt lift) en mayo.

La tragedia golpeó de nuevo en octubre cuando anunció que su hermana había fallecido. En su IG escribió que volvería a poner su confianza en un poder superior: "DIOS es amor y el amor siempre superará la adversidad".

A pesar de sus reveses personales, él es inflexible en seguir adelante. Nos dijo que quiere devolver a la comunidad este año para "difundir amor y mostrarle a la gente que hay esperanza".

Afortunadamente, también ha habido algunos momentos de celebración para DC este año. Tuvo la oportunidad de filmar junto a Eddie Murphy para la nueva película de Navidad de Netflix, "Candy Cane Lane".

DC Young Fly is keeping the faith this festive season ... despite a difficult year marked by the loss of his longtime partner, Jacky Oh!, and his sister.

Talking to TMZ at LAX, he says his focus is making Xmas special for his 3 kids he shares with Jacky ... prioritizing a lot of prayin' during their family time together.

He says that as long as you stay God-fearin' and obedient, everything's gonna be A-OK -- even through the pain and agony.

DC certainly went through it this year ... with TMZ revealing his partner Jacky had died as a result of complications from a BBL in May.

Tragedy struck once again in October when he announced his sister had passed away ... going on to place his trust in the higher power again, writing on IG: "GOD is love and love will always overcome adversity."

Despite his personal setbacks, he's adamant on paying things forward ... telling us he's giving back to the community this year to "spread love and show people there's hope."

Thankfully, there have also been some celebratory moments for DC this year ... taking on the opportunity to star alongside Eddie Murphy for the new Netflix Xmas movie, "Candy Cane Lane."

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's family dog died, and they're both post remembrances of the pooch -- who their kids seemed to absolutely adore.

The exes posted respective tributes to their pit bull mix, Lua, on Saturday ... announcing their longtime pet had passed on. Tom threw up a photo of his two children with Gisele -- Benjamin and Vivian -- hovering over their doggy, which had its eyes closed.

He wrote, "We love you Lua RIP." He posted another photo of Lulu, and added ... "Forever in our hearts." In yet another IG Story slide, he uploaded a boomerang of his daughter playing with Lulu.

Gisele, likewise, threw up a bunch of shots of the canine in a sprawling IG post ... and she had a sweet shout-out to Lulu that touched on just how much she meant to the family.

She wrote, "Our little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven. She will forever live in our hearts. We already miss her sooooo much! #unconditionallove RIPLua." Her caption was also translated to Portuguese ... and she included a ton of awesome photos of their doggo.

Unclear when exactly they got Lua, but we know they adopted the pit bull at some point in their marriage ... and that their kids grew up with it too. They have another dog too, Fluffy.

All dogs go to heaven.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce puede que no estén cerca de traer bebés al mundo, pero eso no significa que otros no lo estén y parece que a la gente le gustan sus nombres.

Un representante de BabyNames.com -uno de los principales sitios que la gente visita a la hora de iluminarse con un nombre- le dice a TMZ que los nombres "Taylor" y "Travis" se han disparado en su sitio.

Nos dicen que esos dos nombres se han disparado alrededor de un 25% entre noviembre y diciembre en comparación con lo que sus usuarios podrían buscar normalmente y BN.com dice que le atribuyen esto al fenómeno que ha consumido la cultura pop durante todo el otoño.

Obviamente, Taylor era una estrella importante antes de engancharse con Travis, pero nos dicen que la relación la ha hecho aún más popular y la prueba está en los datos.

Por cierto, si te preguntas qué significan estos nombres y de dónde vienen, también lo sabemos. Taylor es un nombre inglés de género neutro que literalmente significa: "El que confecciona ropa". En cuanto a Travis, otro nombre inglés que significa "Del cruce o Tollgate".

Ya hemos visto antes este tipo de locura con los nombres de bebés, concretamente cuando se estrenó la película "Barbie" y la gente estaba totalmente obsesionada con ella, acudiendo en masa a BabyNames.com para buscar esos nombres también en aquel momento. Ahora, Taylor parece estar dominando sus motores en línea.
