Answer:

From big bang and stars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The extra helium got into the universe through big bang and fusion reaction that occur in stars. Our universe formed about 13.7 billion years ago with big explosion, this event is known as big bang. The fusion of hydrogen nuclei in the stars produces helium and energy so we can say that most of the extra helium got into the universe through fusion reaction that occur in the stars continuously.
