A post on Jason Momoa s Instagram page told would-be tourists DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI as deadly wildfires devastated the Hawaiian community this week.

The actor, who is of Native Hawaiian descent, passed on the all-caps message to his social media followers Friday, when the death toll from the islands massive blazes would rise to 80 . The post warned that Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now.

Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply, the message read.

Mahalo to everyone who has donated and shown aloha to the community in this time of need.

The language in the post, as well as video clips and images it included, appeared to originate from local nonprofits including ina Momona and Kakoo Haleakala .

Text on the clips read: The devastation from the wildfires will have a lasting island-wide impact on Mauis resources. Our community needs time to heal, grieve & restore. ... Do not book a hotel stay. ... Survivors are the priority.

The post went on to suggest ways that people could help with relief efforts amid the wildfires.
