Charlie Sheen tours damage tornado in Alabama (AP)

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama. -actor Charlie Sheen visited a neighbourhood of Alabama audited by tornadoes and said Monday he wants to organize an event of compensation for the victims of the State.


After the neighbourhood of the city of Alberta decimated in Tuscaloosa, said Sheen Associated Press that he was working with local officials to organize a benefit. He said that a date has not been set.


"I want to make some money, hope, faith and the healing of the region," said Sheen, the former star of the television series "two and a half Men."


Sheen was fired from the show in March and has been in a conflict with executive producer Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Television. Since then, he launched a stage of the tour which has captured the attention.


The actor, with a the University of Alabama baseball cap, said he decided to visit after receiving an invitation via Twitter of a student at the University of Alabama. David Harris of Mobile had asked a tweet April 30 if he would be willing to make a show of relief in Alabama, said Sheen.


Sheen has spent the day in Tuscaloosa meeting with victims of the storm and first responders. He posed for pictures with police and National Guard soldiers, accompanied by one of its so-called goddesses - model magazine of marijuana, Natalie Kenly - and former baseball Todd aux player.


At each stop, it was invaded by dozens of people seeking autographs and photographs. Sheen also stopped by a Kmart area to buy flashlights for some of the thousands still without electricity. Cheers loud tab $


People I am Centre, Adrian Norfleet. "I just cannot believe that someone would care much."


Mayor of Tuscaloosa Walt Maddox is that welcomes visit of Sheen, who probably still would focus more attention on the city of approximately 83,000.


"I hope that it is sincere when he says that he will return," said Maddox. Sheen said he intends to return to the benefit concert and hope to keep the Tuscaloosa amphitheatre.


One of the stops of Sheen was a destroyed Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. He walked through the rubble in the acrid smell of the rotting food, and left through an opening to what had been a walk-in freezer. Later, while passing by the ruins of an apartment complex, he said that he hoped people might find sentimental possessions.


"Little personal items mean so much in this kind of devastation," said Sheen.


Sheen posted a photo Monday on Twitter showing the wreckage of a home with a message: "I'm in Tuscaloosa." It is beyond words. Info soon on how you can help all. ?
