UPDATED 1/14, 12:07 p.m. ET: On Tuesday, Beyoncé's Instagram was updated with a message stating that her Jan. 14 announcement will be "postponed to a later date" due to the tragic wildfires currently devastating parts of Los Angeles.

"THE JANUARY 14TH ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE DUE TO THE DEVASTATION CAUSED BY THE ONGOING WILDFIRES AROUND AREAS OF LOS ANGELES. I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HEALING AND REBUILDING FOR THE FAMILIES SUFFERING FROM TRAUMA AND LOSS. WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE BRAVE FIRST RESPONDERS WHO CONTINUE TO WORK TIRELESSLY TO PROTECT THE LOS ANGELES
COMMUNITY," reads the message.

Back in December, Bey released a teaser clip with the Jan. 14 date appearing at the end of the video. It's currently unknown what exactly the singer was planning for that date, but there's a lot of fan speculation online. "Look at that horse," reads a caption under the video.

Beyoncé is donating millions to Los Angeles fire relief efforts.

The singer’s BeyGood charity foundation announced on Sunday that it has contributed $2.5 million to the LA Fire Relief Fund to assist families impacted by the fires in Southern California.

“The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires,” the foundation said in a statement on Instagram.

BeyGood also encouraged followers to support the cause by visiting its website.

Bey launched BeyGood in 2013 to assist people with economic disparities, provide relief resources, support non-profits in marginalized communities, and more.

So far, the Los Angeles fires have burned over 38,000 acres and decimated over 12,000 homes and buildings. Almost 200,000 people have been displaced, and at least 24 people have died, according to CNN. Entire neighborhoods have been charred to rubble in the Altadena and Pasadena area and winds are expected to pick up again this week.

Several celebrities have lost their homes in the fires, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Tina Knowles, Jhené Aiko, Paris Hilton, and Milo Ventimiglia, among others.
