Hollywood star The Rock, 51, who grew up in Hawaii, also appealed for aid, adding: “I’m completely heartbroken over this.”
Brit Fleetwood was in LA when the fire started but flew back with supplies.
His house was untouched but the town of Lahaina, where Fleetwood’s stood for 11 years, is gutted.
He said yesterday: “Selfishly, I haven’t lost a family member.
“I didn’t lose my house. Yeah, it could have happened, but it didn’t happen.
“I’m really lucky. Now, what the hell can I do? The immediacy is finding people.”
Only three per cent of the area has been searched, with more than 1,000 people still missing.
The damage from the deadliest US wildfire for more than a century is estimated to cost £4.7billion.
Reports of looting, and locals held up at gunpoint, led to calls for authorities to regain control.
Meanwhile, socialite Paris Hilton, 42, was slammed for having a family holiday 30 miles from the fires.
Aquaman and Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa, 44, born in Hawaii, urged tourists to stay away.
He posted on Instagram: “Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now. DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI.
“Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply.”
Locals have put up signs telling tourists they aren’t wanted.
Residents also fear Lahaina will be targeted by developers and wealthy outsiders, which Fleetwood called “abhorrent”.
