Abby Lee Miller might have just earned herself the top spot in this week’s pyramid.
In a video that was first posted on Thursday, Feb. 27, the Dance Moms star was approached in what appeared to be a parking garage by a TMZ reporter, who asked the 56-year-old to corroborate a rumor going around that she was helping out some of the dancers impacted by the Palisades Fire that devastated parts of Los Angeles County earlier this year.

“I have,” she revealed. “The [dance company at the] Palisades studio, they are using my studio.”
“I’m letting them use it for free,” Miller clarified, “so you know, the kids can kind of get back to some normalcy.”
“It’s really sad,” she added. “I stopped at the studio yesterday [to pick up] merchandise and there were maybe nine little girls there and seven of them lost their homes. Completely lost their homes.”
“They were 8 or 9 years old,” Miller told the reporter. “It was sad. They still got choked up about it. It was so sad.”

But Miller’s generous offer appears to be a source of comfort in a time when the kids need it most, as she explained the small group was dressed in their best leotards and items “that some of the dancewear companies have donated.”
“It was heartwarming to see,” she said of the tiny dancers enjoying their class. “Anything I can do to help out the kids.”
Fans online wasted no time celebrating Miller’s offer, calling it a “big win” and “inspiring” to see.
“This what HUMANITY means,” another declared. “Give back what you can when you can while you can.”
