Paris Hilton's Vacation in Maui Draws Controversy

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has faced criticism for vacationing in Maui while authorities urged tourists to leave the island to allow for recovery and clean-up efforts after a devastating storm.

Concerns Over Tourists in Lahaina Waters

He expressed his frustration with the lack of support from the government and leaders, suggesting that they do not know how to handle the situation or what actions to take.
