Oprah is helping her ohana on Maui … personally delivering crucial supplies to folks who lost everything in the deadly wildfires that wiped out an historic town.
The media mogul, who is one of Maui’s biggest private landowners, visited wildfire victims Thursday at a makeshift relief shelter … passing out cots, pillows and toiletries.
Video shows Oprah giving a man in a cot a pillow, and he appears bandaged. Oprah reportedly offered to buy supplies for the shelter, which is overrun with folks who lost their homes in the deadly blaze.
Oprah shared moments with evacuees at War Memorial Gymnasium in Wailuku, which is being used as a shelter and a drop-off location for donations and supplies, even taking a moment to pose for photos.
Oprah owns more than 1,000 acres on Maui … including in Hana and Kula, which is in one of the areas where the fires are raging. The blaze completely wiped out Lahaina, an historic town and popular tourist destination.
Maui’s been absolutely devastated by the wildfires that ripped through the island this week, and as of Friday the death toll stands at 55. In addition to the tragic loss of life, thousands of structures burned to the ground.
Folks on Maui were forced to flee the flames with just the clothing on their backs … so they need all the help they can get.

TMZ broke the story … boxer Floyd Mayweather is paying for 68 families displaced by the fires to fly to safety and stay in a hotel for several weeks, and he’s also footing the bill for their food and clothing.
Now, Oprah’s stepping up too.
