Kim Kardashian is using her celebrity status to help raise funds for typhoon victims in the Philippines.

The reality star, who is engaged to rapper Kanye West, is bringing attention to their plight by auctioning some of her designer clothes and accessories on Ebay.

"The proceeds will go directly to the communities they're serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives," she continued.

"My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the typhoon. Check out my eBay auction here and support those who need our help in the Philippines. Xo."
