Barbra Streisand helped George Floyd’s daughter become a Disney shareholder.

The “Woman in Love” hitmaker decided to help Floyd’s daughter following his death at the hands of a white cop who kneeled on his neck during an arrest. George’s 6-year-old daughter Gianna Floyd announced the good news on Instagram.

Gianna shared a photo on Instagram holding her Disney shares certificate. She also thanked Streisand in the caption.

“Thank You @barbrastreisand for my package, I am now a Disney Stockholder thanks to you,” she wrote.

According to Business Insider, shares of Disney stock dropped for roughly $115. Before the coronavirus pandemic the stock ranged between $140 to $150. However, the price has slowly started climbing up again.

Gianna’s post on social media was flooded with positive feedback. The netizens cheered her up and congratulated her for the blessing she received from the “I Finally Found Someone” singer.

“A blessing. Thank you Barbara [sic] Streisand. You have always been a giver. Much love to the Floyd Family. God bless,” one wrote.

“That is an amazing gift for a sweet little girl. Can't wait to see the wonderful things you wil [sic] do in your life,” another commented.

“You’re beautiful! Wonderful for your future, in words of Elsa, let it grow, let it grow,” a different netizen added.

Meanwhile, another online user advised Gianna to never sell her stock until her retirement.

“Don’t SELL STOCK UNTIL YOU RETIRE!! That is ESPN, ABC, Star Wars, Etc. DON’T SELL!!!!!!!” viclaboy commented.

Streisand is not the only celebrity who thought about Gianna’s welfare after her dad’s death. Kanye West decided to help Gianna financially by launching a college fund for her, Variety reported.

The college fund will fully cover Gianna’s tuition. Texas Southern University also offered a full-ride scholarship if she wants to attend school there.

Aside from Gianna, George’s family members received help from Floyd Mayweather. The boxing champ offered to pay for George’s funeral in his hometown in Houston. The athlete also covered the expenses of three additional services in Minneapolis where George lived at the time of his death, in Charlotte, and in another location.

“He’ll probably get mad at me for saying that, but yes, [Mayweather] is definitely paying for the funeral,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions.
