Paris Hilton and family frolicked in Maui as wildfires raged
That’s hot.
Socialite Paris Hilton was spotted on Saturday soaking up the sun and frolicking on a Maui beach with her husband, Carter Reum, and their son, despite the raging wildfires that are currently plaguing the island.
Hilton, 42, was reportedly staying at a resort in Wailea, which is only 30 miles from the town of Lahaina where the devasting flames are raging.
The hotel heiress can be seen wearing a light blue cover-up and seashell bag while holding her 8-month-old son, Phoenix, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Venture capitalist Reum, 42, was captured smooching his wife while shirtless and donned a pair of pink swim trunks.
A source close to Hilton told the news outlet that she and her family were also there to help residents deal with the ongoing inferno.
“She has been absolutely helping. Maui has always held a special place in her heart,” shared the source. “She has been gathering supplies and taking them to shelters and those who need. She already did and continues to do so.”
The Post reached out to Hilton for comment.
On Wednesday, the Hawaii Tourism Authority pleaded with tourists to vacate the island after 96 people had been confirmed dead due to the rapidly spreading fire.
“Visitors who are on non-essential travel are being asked to leave Maui, and non-essential travel to Maui is strongly discouraged at this time,” wrote the agency. “In the days and weeks ahead, our collective resources and attention must be focused on the recovery of residents and communities that were forced to evacuate their homes and businesses.”
“Aquaman” star and Honolulu native Jason Momoa begged those non-natives on the island to flee the popular vacation destination.
“Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now,” he wrote on Instagram. “DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI,” posted the “Aquaman” star on Instagram.
“Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply,” he continued, calling for donations and travelers to cancel their planned trips.
“Mahalo to everyone who has donated and shown aloha to the community in this time of need.
Hilton is not the only celeb to venture down to the embattled island.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey — who owns several properties on the island — was spotted handing out supplies and speaking with residents at the War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku, which has been converted into a shelter for this displaced by the flames.
“It’s a little overwhelming, you know,” Winfrey, 69, told the BBC in an emotional video. “But I’m really so pleased to have so many people, you know, supporting, and people are just bringing what they can and doing what they can.”
The wildfires have devastated Maui, killing nearly 100 people and making it the deadliest wildfire in the US in more than 100 years.
