Kristen Bell is making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. The Frozen actress was filming a new movie in Orlando over the weekend when she was stranded in the city due to Hurricane Irma. Bell found shelter in a hotel in Disney World along with senior citizens, families, and pets that were uprooted because of the storm. Thanks to her kind nature, the actress made the “best of a bad situation.”

While the storm caused havoc outside, inside the hotel was nothing but fun and games. Bell performed, ate, and even played a rousing game of bingo with the adorable Floridian senior citizens. The Veronica Mars star gave a live update from her hotel on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night.

“We’re all safe and sound here,” Bell said during the live telecast. “We’re making the most of a crazy situation.”

According to Bell, the hotel was packed with a “big party” of people. She gave recognition to an employee named Gary who tirelessly helped everyone throughout the entire weekend and she introduced an elderly man named John who she called her “side piece.”

In addition to spending time with the citizens at the hotel, Bell also performed songs from the hit Disney movie for a group of people taking shelter at Meadow Woods Middle School in Orlando.

Bell genuinely embodies the light and love of a true princess.
