Oprah Winfrey, who owns more than 2,000 acres on the Hawaiian island of Maui with three different properties, has been helping out at a local rescue center after the catastrophic wildfires killed nearly 100 people and destroyed hundreds of homes.

The former TV talk show titan, 69, brought diapers, pillows, and bottles of shampoo to the War Memorial Stadium on Maui after asking what people needed.

“It is really overwhelming,” says the longtime Montecito resident. “I came earlier to see what people needed and then went shopping… So I actually went to Walmart and Costco and got pillows, shampoo, diapers, sheets, and pillowcases.”

You go girl…
