‘We’re gonna make lemonade outta Irma’.

Kristen Bell has been stuck in Orlando since Hurricane Irma made landfall yesterday and has been volunteering her help ever since.

Roping in some local musicians, Kristen put on a show for the families who sought shelter in the Meadow Woods Middle School yesterday.

Onlookers filmed the performance and shared it online to praise the actress’ kind gesture, saying:

“So thankful that as we serve our community as a host shelter, we had an amazing Kristen Bell surprise our families. Thank you so much!”


Kristen belted out a rendition of For the First Time in Forever from the hit movie Frozen for locals and said she hoped it would distract them for just a little while.

“I hope that helped, and I hope maybe some of these songs are running through your head the rest of the day and will take your mind off of it.”


Kristen is currently staying at a local hotel along with a group of senior citizens.

Turning her attention to them, the mum-of-two decided to play some games with those who were evacuated due to the hurricane.

“There are a few thousand senior residents who evacuated to our hotel,” Kristen captioned her social media update.

“We are gonna make lemonade outta Irma as best we can and I’m fueling up the only way I know how in order to call a few hours of BINGO!”


A little while later, Kristen shared another clip of her singing alongside a senior resident named John who she said she’d grown fond of.

“I’m powerless over a man who serenades me,” she admitted.
