Nothing! No reaction
Helium is an inert gas. Does not burn

@SW-User yes, to breath you do need a small bit of helium but very a small amount

@turbineman40 ok.... Helium is actually a version of hydrogen... And we all know that hydrogen and oxygen makes water ..... So why not helium?

@SW-User Hydrogen is a separate element from helium. Hydrogen gas will burn when mixed with oxygen in 2 parts hydrogen to one part oxygen mixture with a spark to ignite the two gasses. After the fire/f!ash there will be water droplets on the surrounding surfaces.
