George Floyd 's six-year-old daughter is now a Disney stockholder.- Gianna Floyd was gifted the stocks by artists
Barbra Streisand , alongside two of the singer's albums. - George Floyd died late last month after a police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes.
- Amid ongoing protests over Floyd's death,
police brutality , and racial justice, Streisand is one of several high-profile figures to reach out to Floyd's family.
Gianna Floyd, the daughter of George Floyd, is a Disney stockholder after Barbra Streisand gifted her shares and two of her own albums.
Gianna, or Gigi, announced the gift by writing: "Thank You @barbrastreisand for my package, I am now a Disney Stockholder thanks to you," in an Instagram post accompanied by a photo of her proudly holding the certificate.
Her father George Floyd was killed after a police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes on May 25 in Minneapolis. His death sparked protests demanding racial justice and an end to police brutality across the country and the world. All officers involved have since been fired and charged.
It's unclear how many shares Gianna received from Streisand. A spokesperson for Streisand confirmed the donation to CNN. Gianna also received two of the artist's albums, "My Name Is Barbra" and "Color Me Barbra."
"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," a spokesperson quoted Streisand as saying, according to CNN.
Roxie Washington, Gianna's mother, gave an emotional speech to members of the media earlier this month on Floyd's death and emphasized the impact it will have on their daughter.
"At the end of the day, they get to go back to their families," Washington said. "Gianna does not have a father. He will never see her grow up, graduate. He will never walk her down the aisle. If there is a problem and she needs her father, she will not have that anymore."
The six-year-old has used her Instagram page to showcase photos of her late father and promote social justice.
Streisand's gifts were just some amid other tokens of support to Floyd's family and Gianna after the loss of her father. Texas Southern University offered her a full-ride scholarship. Former NBA player Stephen Jackson, who was close friends with her father, also promised to take care of her.
"I'm going to walk her down the aisle," Jackson said during a press conference earlier this month. "I'm going to be there for her, I'm going to be there to wipe your tears."
