Talk show host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey visited wildfire evacuees in Maui on Thursday. Winfrey is a high-profile part-time resident and landowner on the island.

The celebrity's spokesperson confirmed that she went to a local shelter to ask what was most needed. She then went to Walmart and Costco to shop for the items and brought them back, the spokesperson said.

Winfrey plans to do more for the devastated island, as it becomes clear what funds can be the most helpful for the short-term and long-term rebuilding, the spokesperson added, calling the wildfires "heart-breaking devastation."

The number of people confirmed to have died in the devastating Maui fire is now 55, local officials said early Friday.

“As firefighting efforts continue, 2 additional fatalities have been confirmed today amid the active Lahaina fire,” Maui county said in a news release.
