Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have made a massive donation to food banks amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The A-list couple pledged $1 million to two organisations to ensure that people who don't have a lot of money can still access food during the pandemic.

Reynolds said in a statement: "Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low income families. Blake and I are donating $1 million to be split between Feeding America and Food Banks Canada.

"If you can give, these orgs need our help.

"Take care of your bodies and hearts. Leave room for joy. Call someone who's isolated and might need connection."

Naturally, Ryan and Blake aren't the only celebrities helping out the less fortunate during the outbreak.

Lady Gaga this week announced 20 percent of online profits from her cosmetics company, Haus Labs, would be given to local food banks in Los Angeles and New York City.

Former Disney star Vanessa Hudgens wrote on Instagram: "It's a crazy time out there in the world.

"School closures, job disruptions, lack of paid sick leave and the coronavirus' disproportionate impact on adults age 60 and older and low-income families are all contributing to the demands placed on food banks across the country.

"Join me in supporting @feedingamerica today. Let's help each other out rather than freaking the f*** out."
