Disney donates US$5m to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral



The Walt Disney Company announced Wednesday that it will donate US$5 million (RM20.6 million) to help rebuild the fire-ravaged Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, reported Xinhua today.
"Notre-Dame is a beacon of hope and beauty that has defined the heart of Paris and the soul of France for centuries, inspiring awe and reverence for its art and architecture and for its enduring place in human history," Disney CEO Robert A Iger said in a statement.
"The Walt Disney Company stands with our friends and neighbours in the community, offering our heartfelt support, as well as a US$5 million donation for the restoration of this irreplaceable masterpiece."
Notre-Dame is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture which receives about 12 million visitors every year. 
The 850-year-old historic landmark was severely damaged by a devastating fire on Monday.
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild the cathedral after the inferno. 
In the two days following the devastating blaze, nearly US$1 billion (RM4 billion) has reportedly been pledged by donors from across the world, including some major companies.
