A-list celebrities including Madonna and Ben Stiller have donated thousands to a fundraiser for the New Zealand terror attack victims.
The GoFundMe page had reached almost $US80,000 of its $US100,000 goal on Sunday after being set up by Guy Oseary, the manager for Madonna and the band U2, who pledged $US18,000 himself.
Actor Stiller, filmmaker Judd Apatow and actor Ashton Kutcher each pledged $US1,000.
Other donations came from comedian Chris Rock, who donated $US5,000 with Madonna pledging $US10,000 dollars.
"I read the frightening details and could barely find the strength to watch a short clip of the disturbing footage. My heart breaks for the victims and for their families," Oseary wrote on the page after setting it up on Friday.
