The statement from county officials came after the local Star Advertiser News initially reported that Winfrey, 69, and a CBS crew following her were denied entry because media are not allowed to enter the shelter.
Just days ago, Winfrey spoke on camera to the BCC inside the shelter about giving residents a helping hand.
Hundreds more remain unaccounted for.
Thousands of people have lost their homes and possessions as the fast-moving flames engulfed parts of the island last week, including the resort city of Lahaina, which was decimated.
The cause of the massive blaze is unknown, though lawyers investigating the fire reportedly believe it was caused by damaged power lines.

“Winfrey, who has been living on the island part-time for 15 years and owns 2,000 acres of land (3.1 square miles)”
They just ant a "story" and attention. Give the people a chance to recover before seeking your awards.
I heard Oprah was giving out pillows , who gave her the pillows ,LOL
Oprah starts bing eating when she’s upset... this puts another 40 lbs on her ass.
LOL. I bet this self-centered b__tch thinks that only SHE can properly film the suffering on Maui. Meaning that its properly filmed if she is the center of attention.
She just needed a fresh batch of children to traffic. Disaster Zones are prime hunting grounds. Watch Sound of Freedom.
Harvesting adrenochrome
They don’t want people going around filming the charred bodies that haven’t been recovered yet.
I've noticed a Tsunami of Hollywood types offering their comments via twitter etc. Like I care how they feel. It's all about THEM.
“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?????????????”....................
Maybe, if they’d let her in, she’d repeat her “New cars for everyone in the audience!” stunt.
Now, we’ll never know.
Good.
People don’t need virtue signaling PR visits from celebrities.
I’m surprised her gal pal, The Meghan, isn’t there with her. She’s another attention whore who craves the limelight.
Looks like Oprah is going to own a lot more of Maui soon.
It’s all about her.
It would be nice if she, and other celebrities, would donate some of their vast wealth to help people without doing it for the attention.
Otherwise, it’s not really about helping others. It’s about flaunting their image and making it about them.
And it’s disgusting.
I hate it when my TV crew is not allowed to accompany me.
Good for the shelter in turning away the camera crew. I simply hate celebrities who try to turn relief efforts in disasters into “it’s all about me” PR stunts.
If you truly want to help, quietly make a donation to a shelter or rescue group and stay out of the way and the limelight.
