Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler’s daughter Mia Tyler and her six-year-old son Axton safely fled wildfire-ravaged Maui.
The ‘Rush Hour 3’ star and her little boy were able to get a flight out of the island in Hawaii where at least 93 people have lost their lives.
She posted an update on her Instagram account saying, “I don’t know where to start. Halfway through our vacation on Maui, we got news that a horrible fire had started an hour north of us. I don’t need to tell you what happened next. All I can say is, it was way worse than what you saw on the news and online.”
“Many people and animals have lost their lives. Homes destroyed. Sacred buildings burnt to ashes. Thousands of locals and tourists displaced,” she continued. “And the horrors those people had to see and experience.”
As the wildfires destroyed the historic town of Lahaina, numerous celebrities are stepping up to help. Metallica’s foundation All Within My Hands is included in the list as they donated a $200,000 grant for the Maui Strong Fund established through the Hawai’i Community Foundation (HCF). The Maui Strong Fund is providing resources that can be deployed quickly, focusing on rapid response and recovery for the disastrous wildfires still occurring on Maui.
