Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is selling her clothes on eBay to help raise money for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
The 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' star has put a selection of items on the auction site in order to raise money for the non-profit organisation International Medical Corps to help victims of the devastating cyclone, which has killed more than 4,000 people in the Philippines this month.
However, instead of donating the entire proceeds, she's only giving 10 per cent of the sales to the charity.
The 33-year-old beauty, who has a reported net worth of 40 million pounds, took to her Twitter page to share the link to her personal website.
She wrote on the site, "Hi guys, this is a very special auction because a portion of the proceeds of my eBay auction are going to International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organisation that provides critical health services on remote islands where families are struggling to access medical care and basic resources like food, clean drinking water and vital medications.
"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."
Kardashian has listed some of her favourite pieces from some high end designers, including Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Prada, in the auction, as well as some affordable items from her Kardashian Kollection clothing line, which she owns with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe.
