Added Bell: “Just doing our best and trying to stay positive but cautious, and trying to help those who need help prepping. Every person i passed today was assisting someone else- #neighborshelpingneighbors – it was beautiful to see. Sad that a hurricane has to bring out the best in everyone- but happy that the community will be holding hands through this.”

Bell’s act of kindness toward the family of her “Frozen” co-star did not go unnoticed in the Twittersphere.
