Paris Hilton and her family vacationed in Maui, Hawaii, amid the deadly wildfires.
Earlier this week, the heiress and her husband, Carter Reum, were seen taking a stroll while staying at a resort in Wailea — 30 miles from the town of Lahaina, which was completely burned due to the wildfires that began last week.
In the photo, Paris and Carter, were all smiles and dressed casually as they took a stroll hand-in-hand around the resort. The pair were joined by their son, Phoenix, in addition to other members of the Hilton family.
A source tells ET that the Hiltons take a trip to the Big Island annually, but they cut their trip short and offered aid to those affected by the devastation — including a family member who lost their restaurant.
“Paris and Carter’s trip to Maui was initially a planned family trip. Paris considers Maui a second home since she has been traveling there since she was born and has many friends and family there,” the source says. Her uncle’s restaurant, Lahaina, burned down, so Paris and Carter decided to shorten their trip and go see their family and help where they could. When they arrived, they gathered supplies, donated to local shelters and to people in need, and made significant contributions.”
On Sunday, Hilton reportedly shared posts on Instagram from the Hawaii Community Foundation, giving her followers instructions on how they can donate and help the residents affected by the natural disaster.
The wildfires were first reported on Aug. 8. Fires began to ravage Maui as a result of drought conditions and hurricane weather. At least 99 people have been confirmed dead, making it the deadliest wildfire in the United States in more than a century. The entire town of Lahaina has been left in ruins.
