"We called our friends at Children's Hospital LA, including Billy's surgeon, and we have named one of the rooms of the heart institute floor in honour of Billy," DeGeneres tells Kimmel in the clip above.

Kimmel's emotional reaction says it all.

DeGeneres later tweeted to encourage more people to donate.
