Hollywood actor LEONARDO DiCaprio reportedly gave an elephant charity a major boost by handing over a $1 million (£625,000) donation at a fundraising event.

The Titanic star made the generous offer during the Sundown Gala in Malibu, California on Saturday (10May14), which raised money for the Elephant Crisis Fund.

The inaugural event was put together by DiCaprio’s own charity and the Wildlife Conservation Network, as well as fellow actor Mark Wahlberg.

DiCaprio donated $1 million to the fundraising effort, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six, and guests at the event, which raised more than $2 million (£1.3 million), included singer/actress Barbra Streisand.
