Madonna makes donation to Italian quake victims

Madonna's paternal grandparents lived in the village of Pacentro, in the Abruzzo region, scene of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake on Monday that has left at least 267 people dead.
"I am happy to lend a helping hand to the town that my ancestors are from," Madonna said in a statement. "My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones or their homes."
