LOS ANGELES- Pop diva Madonna has made a donation to the earthquake-stricken Italian hometown of her ancestors, a spokeswoman for the star confirmed Wednesday.
The singer's New York-based public relations team confirmed Madonna had made a donation -- which People magazine reported to be 500,000 dollars -- but did not give the amount.
"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."
