The makeup artist was met with thousands of replies, with people asking the star to pick them.
Jeffree then went on to share screenshots of the money he sent over to fans, but it wasn’t long before he was met with some backlash.
The US star hit back at people criticising him for sending money, tweeting: "If anyone is mad that I’m giving away MY money, you have a lot of soul-searching to do…
"My family and I have donated millions of dollars privately, and I’ve helped every single person in my life. I love giving back, if that offends anyone, can’t relate.”
