Oprah Winfrey lent a helping hand to wildfire evacuees in Maui on Thursday (August 10th), as the famous talk show host was spotted handing out pillows and other supplies at the War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku.

“I came earlier just to see what people needed, and then went shopping,” she said in a video shared by the BBC. “I actually went to Walmart and Costco and got pillows, shampoo, diapers, sheets, pillowcases.”

The Color Purple actress added, “It’s a little overwhelming.” Winfrey is a part-time resident of Maui.

On Friday (August 11th), Jason Momoa shared a video to Instagram discouraging people from traveling to the island. “Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now. DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI,” he wrote in the caption. “Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply. Mahalo to everyone who has donated and shown aloha to the community in this time of need.”
