Filmmaker Amanda Bailly and journalist Richard Hall launched a GoFundMe page to help rebuild the restaurant and it was revealed that actor Russell Crowe made a donation.

Journalist Richard Hall revealed in his tweet that, ", "Someone called Russell Crowe made a very generous donation to our Le Chef fundraiser. But not sure if it's *the* @russellcrowe."

Russel Crowe confirmed donation of $5,000 dollar and the actor said he donated it on behalf of his dear friend, Anthony Bourdain.

Oscar-winner actor, Russel Crowe said that, , "On behalf of Anthony Bourdain. I thought that he would have probably done so if he was still around. I wish you and LeChef the best and hope things can be put back together soon."

LeChef was a restaurant adored by the great chef Anthony Bourdain, he would visit it whenever he was in the Lebanon's capital city.

Le Chef has been a popular spot in the neighborhood of Gemmayze since it opened in 1967.

The GoFundMe has already amassed $19,000 and the page states the additional funds will go to keep the staff and their families "fed and housed" in such a difficult time for the city and its people.
