Beyoncé has donated $100,000 (£57,000) to a relief fund for those affected by Hurricane Ike.

The former Destiny's Child singer hails from Texas, where the hurricane hit last month and caused damage to property and affected employment figures.

In addition to her pledge to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund, Knowles is organising a fundraising benefit for the charity.

Last month, the singer admitted that she is becoming bored with being a popstar.
