A Los Angeles social media influencer has raised over 500,000 US dollars for the Australian bushfires by sending naked pictures of herself. 

20-year-old Kaylen Ward made the announcement on Twitter on January 4 and has today shared that donations have hit an estimated USD$500,000.

Ward shared a number of charities with her Twitter following and said that every person who donated at least $10 to those organisations would get one nude picture.

People had to send her confirmation that they donated.

There was some speculation that she had been pocketing some of the money, but Ward quickly cleared that up saying that every person who has donated has sent it directly to the organisation or charity of their choice.

Some of the charities Ms Ward shared with her followers and potentially getting a share of the funds include the NSW RFS, Australian Red Cross, GIVIT and The Salvation Army.
