She said, "I take all that love and today I give it to everybody in Oklahoma.” She also said, "Before I start, I just wanna say that our thoughts and prayers are with everyone there. But I assume if you're watching, you wanna take a break from the news and laugh for a little while. So, that's what we're gonna do and that's what we try and do every day."

Jennifer Aniston was co-hosting the show and she too joined hands with Ellen and asked viewers for donations for the victims’ relief.

The images are heartbreaking, and we want everyone there to know that we're thinking of you.” She further added, "It is important to do whatever you can to help…you can text the words 'Red Cross' to 90999 and $10 will go to the American Red Cross. Go to the website for more information." It was also announced by the actresses that Shutterfly, an online photo publishing service has donated $50, 000 to the Red Cross to serve the same purpose.
