In the wake of the blast that took place in Beirut, Mia Khalifa has managed to auction off her trademark black glasses for charity.

She has raised a whopping $100,000 (Rs 74,85,530) for the Lebanese Red Cross.

The blast in Beirut killed 178 people and injured 6,000 others, and Khalifa wanted to contribute to help out those affected by the devastating incident.

On her Instagram, Khalifa wrote, 'I'm just trying to get creative, there's always more that can be done and this felt like a cheeky way to raise funds and make sure the conversation and attention doesn't diverge from this crisis'.

She added, 'Creeps are welcome, your money is just as green as ours. I'm putting the link in my bio for a few hours then changing it back to the Beirut Relief resources landing page. After that I'll house the links/posts in a pinned memory for ready access. Happy bidding, ya filthy animals'.

She listed the item's condition as 'used and abused' and wrote, 'The novelty glasses are the best prop, I will sign them (if you want), and take one last polaroid wearing them before sending them off to their new home!!!'

Khalifa has also been adding more personal items to the auction at ever $25k raised. The list includes a 'used sideburn razor', 'the loofa I've been meaning to switch out' and 'my retainer'.

She wrote, 'Let's raise some money to benefit Lebanon's most valuable asset at this time of crisis, the Lebanese Red Cross. Let's get wild and raise a s*** ton of money for the Lebanese people'.

Khalifa also mentioned that people can donate directly to the Lebanese Red Cross.
