John Travolta is the latest celebrity to help aid those in need in Haiti following the tragic 7.0 earthquake that hit last Tuesday.

Travolta, who is a licensed pilot and owns his own plane, is lending his plane to Haiti for assistance.

"I have arranged for a plane to take down some volunteer ministers and some supplies and some medics," John tells ET. "My church has also arranged for 80 medicos and 33 volunteers to go down. I hope that inspires others as well," he adds. "It's needed."

And he's just one of many A-listers who have gone out of their way to extend help (and have open their bank accounts) to Haitians.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has donated $1.5 million dollars to help aid victims, Sandra Bullock donated $1 million dollars to 'Doctors Without Boarders' and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have also donated $1 million dollars to help rebuild Haiti.

George Clooney has organized a telethon, which will take place on January 22nd. Stars like Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Bono have already agreed to perform. Wyclef Jean will help George co-host the telethon in hopes of raising more money for victims.

“This is a perfect place for me to go recruiting some people, so it works out," Clooney joked yesterday at the Golden Globes.
