Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, are being slammed for vacationing in Maui – just 50km from the deadly wildfires that have ravaged the island.

The US heiress and Reum were captured in photographs obtained by the Daily Mailkissing in the ocean without a care in the world as more than 95 people have been declared dead and about 1000 are still missing.

In the photos, Hilton and Reum are carrying their baby boy Phoenix, while frolicking and walking along the shoreline.

The family was staying at a resort in Wailea, which is only about a 48km drive to the devastation in Lahaina.

Paris was recently on holiday in Greece with her husband (pictured), and has now been spotted enjoying some down time near the Maui fires.

The carefree attitude of Hilton and Reum, both 42, set off a wave of anger on social media.

“Paris Hilton heard about the Maui wildfire devastation and said ‘That’s hot,’” quipped one person on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, poking fun at her famous catchphrase.

“Disgusting. They’ve asked all tourists to leave the island,” tweeted another.

“Is she an idiot,” asked another.

“Wow,” reacted another user. “Read the room.”

Hilton has not shared any photos from her Maui holiday on Instagram. Just a day ago, she uploaded photos from her recent holiday in Greece.

The photos of Hilton come just days after actor Jason Momoa warned tourists not to travel to Maui amid the raging wildfires.

“Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now,” the Aquaman star, 44, captioned a slide show on Instagram Friday that featured video of the fires with the words “do not travel to Maui.”

“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.”

The Fast X star’s post, which was originally created by the non-profit organisation ʻĀina Momona, said tourists should steer clear because the devastation will have “a lasting island-wide impact on Maui’s resources.”

“Our community needs time to heal, grieve & restore,” the post continued. “That means the less visitors on the island taking up critical resources that have become extremely limited the better.”

Last month, the Cooking With Paris star gushed to Peoplemagazine about how she was eager to take her nearly 7-month-old son to Hawaii.

“I just can’t wait for Hawaii, because I can’t wait to have him be with all of his cousins,” she shared.

“My sister and I have been staying at [a hotel] for so many years, and just going on all the water slides and just being kids, so it’ll be really a fun experience to now experience that with our own children.”

Hilton continued, “So I just can’t wait for that trip, with all of the cousins together. That’s just going to be so special.”
