Hart took to his social media channels to spark what he called "the Hurricane Harvey Relief Challenge" after the popular Ice Bucket Challenge that raised funds and awareness for ALS a few years back proved Hollywood loves a challenge for a good cause.

Hart tagged Johnson, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Jay Z, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey and Justin Timberlake in his plea to "help me help Houston."

"My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help," she said. "I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John's in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can."
