Helium can be formed, however only extraction is economically viable enough to be commercially used worldwide.
Natural Extraction (Extraction)
For large-scale use, helium is extracted by fractional distillation from natural gas and then purified. Many natural gas reserves naturally contains up to 7% helium within them. The present helium in the reserves is a result of millions of years of alpha decay.
* Alpha Decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus), the helium nucleus would have no electrons initially but could easily collide with and interact with other molecules, picking up 2 more electrons, effectively becoming helium. Most of the helium produced on Earth (approximately 99% of it) comes from the alpha decay of underground deposits of minerals containing uranium or thorium. The helium is brought to the surface as a by-product of natural gas production. Human Production (Formation)
Helium can be synthesized by bombardment of lithium or boron with high-velocity protons, breaking off protons from the elements in an attempt to create helium, but this is not an economically viable method of production.
Helium is formed from hydrogen by the fusion process.
There are five ways this can happen.
Often four hydrogen atoms that have high energy collide and create helium and a lot of energy.

Hydrogen and helium are formed in Sun.
Helium is formed by the fusion of hydrogen at temperatures above 3.106 kelvin.

D2 + T2 + energy -> 2 He + energy D2 is deuterium, T2 is tritium. Both are isotopes of hydrogen.
Close, but not exactly. Hydrogen is not formed by nuclear reactions in stars, hydrogen was formed not long after the Big Bang, when the expanding universe had cooled sufficiently that an electron and a proton could combine to form a hydrogen atom. Helium and all the other elements that are heavier than hydrogen, were formed by the process of nuclear fusion, in stars.

Hydrogen was initially formed in the 'Big Bang' which initiated this universe. Helium is formed by the fusion of hydrogen atoms, inside stars. This reaction is what causes stars to shine, and give off heat.
The gas formed when hydrogen atoms fuse is helium. Stars do this.

No. The hydrogen in the universe was formed during the Big Bang. Stars consume hydrogen, fusing it into helium.
If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.
Because Hydrogen is the fuel of Stars, hydrogen consumed and Helium is formed.

Everything except Hydrogen & Helium (and part of the Helium is also formed within stars).
