The message by the King read, "My wife and I were utterly horrified to hear of the catastrophic wildfires currently burning in Maui, Hawai'i.

Destruction caused by Maui wildfire
Maui wildfires have left a trail of death and destruction, as the death toll has reached 80.
The estimated cost of rebuilding the island, as estimated by FEMA, is 5.52 billion dollars, with more than 2000 properties destroyed.
Earlier, NBC News revealed that as the wildfires broke out in Hawaii, the state's outdoor emergency warning alarm system, the largest in the world, failed, resulting in the deepening of the crisis.
