On social media, there were so many dark jokes about Paris Hilton being drawn to the burning island like a moth because of her famous catchphrase. “Paris Hilton heard about the Maui wildfire devastation and said ‘That’s hot,'” one person tweeted. Another critic wasn’t buying the attempt to spin the narrative by painting Hilton as someone who just wanted to do whatever she could to help Maui residents, including her uncle. “BS ~ She doesn’t care about anyone but herself,” read another tweet. “Get a clue honey and go home,” another person advised the DJ. “(Her publicist should request combat pay!).”
It’s unclear whether Hilton is still currently in Maui, but she’s been sharing videos and photos that might be meant to distract her fans from her controversial trip. An August 13 Instagram video includes the caption “Summer in Greece” in large letters, so no one will mistake the glittering blue water she’s seen floating in for that of the Maui shore. She’s also shown hosing herself down on a yacht. She’s wearing the same pink bikini in an August 8 post and the same shoreline is visible in the background, so her trip to Greece seemingly occurred before she jetted off to Maui.

While Hilton’s behavior may be questionable, the Fox News source said, “She has been traveling to Maui since she was born. She has many friends and family there, and it’s a second home for her.”
