This isn't the first time Williams has paid it forward to Australian wildfire relief efforts. Earlier this month, she also donated prize money from winning her first title since having her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

Additionally, she posted a thoughtful message that included koalas being rescued on Jan. 9, which has since been liked more than 200,000 times.

\"I am heartbroken over the devastation of the wildfires in Australia,\" Williams said. \"With the loss of over 500 million animals and many people left without their homes, we need to act now to help in whatever way we can. I have been going to Australia for over 20 years so this devastation is hitting me particularly hard.\"
