Gwen Stefani has donated $1 million to Save the Children‘s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund.

The singer said in a statement, “I’ve been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture.”

“The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years.”

Stefani visited Japan in 1996 on a tour with No Doubt. She took inspiration from the youth culture of the Harajuku district of Tokyo, later creating a clothing line called Harajuku Lovers.  Next week, she’ll unveil a limited edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirts, and all proceeds will go to to aid in Japan relief efforts.

Last week, Sandra Bullock gave $1 million to the Japan relief effort.

Gossip Cop hopes others, celebrity and non-celebrity, will follow Bullock and Stefani’s generous lead.
