Kristen Bell is one celebrity with a heart of gold.
The 37-year-old actress found herself stranded in her Orlando hotel over the weekend as Hurricane Irma hit Florida.
But instead of hunkering down in her room, Kristen organized a series of activities for a group of senior citizens who had been evacuated to the hotel from their nursing homes.

The Frozen star – who is currently in Florida filming a movie – has been documenting her shenanigans during the storm with a series of heartfelt yet hilarious posts on Instagram, and on Monday, she spoke to Jimmy Kimmel during a live satellite feed.
Wedged in between the hotel’s manager, Gary, and her new ‘side piece’, an elderly gentleman named John, Kristen recounted the details of the last few harrowing days.
‘We’re all safe and sound here. We’ve been making the most of a crazy situation,’ she said.
Introducing Gary, Kristen said the Walt Disney World Resort manager was feeling ‘exhausted’ after the weekend’s events.

‘He’s been running toilet paper to people’s rooms at two in the morning,’ she said.
After confessing he’d been awake for 72 hours, Jimmy asked Gary if people were asking for toilet paper or if he was ‘just delirious and running it to their rooms’.
She then introduced John, another new friend she had made while being trapped inside the hotel during the storm.
‘This is my side piece here in Orlando, Jimmy,’ joked the blonde beauty, who has been married to Dax Shepard, 42, since 2013.
