Making the announcement on Instagram, the American star urged people to "give what they can" as the pandemic continues to spread across the globe.

She put: "My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who's been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards research of the coronavirus for a cure. "I am making a donation of $1 million to Vanderbilt towards that research," she added.
