The 31-year-old singer - who passed away last Wednesday (16.10.24) after plunging from a hotel balcony in Argentina - worked with the Choose Love campaign to create a special garment to raise money for good causes and it's brought in £186,500 in the seven days since the tragedy.
The news was confirmed by Choose Love founder Dawn O'Porter, who posted a message on Instagram mourning the star's loss. She wrote: "Today is #ChooseDay, and almost a week ago the world lost an incredible person.
"We, with so many others, are devastated by the death of Liam Payne and our hearts and thoughts are with his loved ones. It seemed only right to dedicate this post to Liam and to say thank you for everything he did for us.
"We will always be so grateful to Liam for the beautiful T-shirt he designed to raise money to support displaced people around the world."
Dawn went on to reveal sales spiked over the last week and the garment has raised a fortune to support the organisation's work.
She added: "It’s blown us all away to see how much the T-shirt has been shared this week and to see that £186,500 has been raised in the last week by this beautiful and generous community.
"These funds will help us continue to get vital care to displaced people all over the world. We will be forever grateful to Liam and his fans for this incredible act of love.
"The T-shirt is still available via the link in our bio. Thank you to you all, and thank you Liam."
The T-shirt features a painting of One Direction onstage during a gig and is available for £28.00 from Choose Love's online store.
