Justin Timberlake has donated $100,000 to an Australian wildlife fund, paying tribute to deceased Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. The pop superstar is currently touring Australia on the latest leg of his FutureSex/LoveShow tour.

And during a concert in Brisbane on Saturday evening, he announced plans to give $100,000 to a scheme set-up by Irwin. Timberlake had been given a guided tour of the facility in Queensland by Irwin on a previous tour, prompting the generous gesture.

He told the crowd, "When I came here last time, it really hit me...I said to myself: "What can I do?' So what I did was 50 cents from every ticket sold on the Australian tour goes to Wildlife Warriors."

Irwin was killed in 2006, when a stingray barb pierced his heart.
