00:00 You see entire families who've lost every single thing they have and they're living
00:06 on the air mattress and a cot and a chair.
00:10 The whole town of Lahaina is no more.
00:15 I'm completely heartbroken over this and I know all of you are too.
00:19 Lahaina in ruins in '96 confirmed dead as celebs who live in Hawaii rallied to support
00:24 Fire Ravaged Maui.
00:26 You know what this week has taught me is that when you don't know what to do, you do
00:32 whatever you can.
00:33 Oprah visited evacuee shelters all weekend bringing supplies and emotional support.
00:38 Today I brought back personal hygiene products and the other day it was towels and sheets
00:44 and pillows and the day before that it was water.
00:47 At some point I will make a major donation after all of the smoke and ashes have settled
00:53 here.
00:54 Jason Momoa is advising people not to visit the island while residents mourn and recover
00:59 from the disaster and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson encouraging fans to donate.
01:04 Thank you guys around the world for all of your love and your support, your light, your
01:09 prayers.
01:10 Thank you for sending them to the islands of Hawaii.
01:13 I will continue to get as much information as possible.
01:16 There's so many needs.
01:17 Musician Mick Fleetwood was visiting family in Los Angeles when the fires hit.
01:21 He chartered a plane to the island with much needed supplies.
01:24 Selfishly I haven't lost a family member.
01:28 I didn't lose my house.
01:30 It could have happened but it didn't happen so you immediately go like I'm really lucky.
01:37 Now what the hell can I do?
01:45 Mick's Fleetwood Mac bandmate Stevie Nicks also had a house on the island which was out
01:49 of harms way but the restaurant Mick owned in Lahaina for 11 years was destroyed.
01:53 This is all that's left of it today.
01:55 There are people still in dire, dire, dire straits emotionally.
01:59 My biggest concern is how do you get the resources to the people who actually need it.
