The benefit aims to raise money for relief and recovery efforts following the back-to-back storms that wreaked havoc in the Southeast in September and October and killed scores of people.

While Milton raked across the Florida peninsula in early October, Helene moved deep inland after it made landfall in late September, causing catastrophic flooding in North Carolina.

“Paramount Global and its brands are proud to collaborate with United Way Worldwide on the ‘United Way Benefit for Hurricane Relief’ in reaching audiences across the U.S. to help those impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton,” Melissa C. Potter, executive director of Content for Change at Paramount Global and a United Way Worldwide board of trustees member, said in a statement.

“I have seen firsthand how United Way rallies local leaders, cross-sector partners and the community to aid people during times of crisis, and the resources raised by this benefit event will help those in need to recover and rebuild,” Potter said.

The benefit was taped Monday and Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee.

Rodriguez-Ramirez was reported missing by family members the next day, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. Authorities arrested Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanchez, 24, on Monday in Atlanta, and he has been charged with murder. He is being held without bond in the Habersham County Detention Center, according to online jail records.

It was not clear if Rodriguez-Ramirez knew Rivera-Sanchez. Her fiance told local media he received a strange text from her phone the day after she disappeared.

Rodriguez-Ramirez often posted videos for her 27,000-plus followers in Spanish on fitness routines. She also often posted videos sharing stories about her daughter.
