“Selfishly, I haven’t lost a family member,” he began. “I didn’t lose my house.”

At least 96 people have been killed and more are missing after the devastating wildfires which prompted the evacuation of some 46,000 residents and visitors.

Among the more than 80% of the 2,700 structures in the town of Lahaina that officials estimated were damaged or destroyed sat Fleetwood’s on Front Street.

Over the weekend Fleetwood tweeted confirming the loss of the fine dining restaurant opened in 2012.

Lead singer Stevie Nicks also spoke out about the impact of the fires.

Taking to Instagram the lead singer shared a lengthy statement, where she revealed that her niece and young were forced to flee the house she has owned in Maui since the 80s.

The star’s niece was staying in the home on vacation while Nick’s herself was in Houston.

Due to a power outage, the star couldn’t reach her niece, despite finding out about the fires before locals.

“We knew here in Houston, but there was no way to get to Jessi (my niece) on the phone,” she wrote. “The entire area of Lahaina and everything around was down. But here in Houston… we knew.”
