Barbra Streisand has gifted George Floyd’s six-year-old daughter Gianna Floyd a Disney share.
Gianna Floyd who was happy to become a Disney shareholder, took to her Instagram page to thank Barbra Streisand as she post her share certificate. She captioned the photo with:
“Thank You @barbrastreisand for my package, I am now a Disney Stockholder thanks to you,” the caption reads
The post did not reveal how many shares the 78-year-old star bought for Gianna.
Along with the shares, the Grammy award-winning singer also gave the little girl two of her albums, “My Name Is Barbra” and “Color Me Barbra.”
A representative for Streisand told CNN in a statement: “We confirm the information in the recent Instagram by George Floyd’s daughter, Gianna, concerning a gift to her from Barbra Streisand.”
Streisand’s spokeswoman quoted the star as saying: “I sent Gianna videos where I played a little girl in my first television special singing kid songs and my second special a sequence with lots of baby animals.”
Earlier this month, the board of regents at Texas Southern University (TSU) announced it was offering to provide Gianna Floyd with a full scholarship should she wish to attend the university.

“We know the value of an education in the pursuit of solutions and generational progress. We look forward to embracing her into the TSU family,” Gerald Smith, chairman of the TSU Foundation, said in a statement.
Kanye West is also doing his part to secure Gianna’s future, setting up a college fund for her tuition as part of his $2 million donation to support the families of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
Also, an official GoFundMe page for Gianna Floyd has already raised more than $2 million. “Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and support,” Gianna and her mother, Roxie Washington, wrote on the page.
Gianna Floyd’s father died in police custody last month after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes, and that incident has sparked protests around the world, with people, mostly blacks calling for the end of Police brutality.
