NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Climate change has been wreaking havoc all over the world with disasters resulting in hundreds and thousands of human deaths. Another region that has fallen victim to it is Maui Island in Hawaii, which has been attacked by a wildfire and has had a rising death toll.

'Fox & Friends' host Will Cain is one of the helpless family members whose loved ones are stuck in the dangerous region. He addressed this while reporting the wildfires on Fox News and revealed the whereabouts of his family. Cain also went on to discuss his relationship with the country and the island through an Instagram post.

"My mom and her husband Luke are still on the islands of Maui," the weekend host shared on 'The Faulkner Focus', "They are safe. I finally made contact with them last night. There's just no power. Cell service is completely spotty. But I’m happy to share they are safe and the project now is to get them out of West Maui."

Thousands of people from the islands have been evacuated in the past few days.

"There's one road, it's now open," Cain added, "The county officials and everyone is trying to evacuate people to the other side where there is an airport flying people out of Maui. The devastation, as you see on your screen, is just all-encompassing."

Currently, the death toll stands above 40 but many are expecting it to rise much further as the investigation will progress when the fires die down.

Will Cain makes emotional post about Maui wildfires

In the report on the Hawaii wildfires, Cain revealed how close the islands were to him as he had spent all his summers there with his family. He posted a video where he reported on the wildfires for Fox News. "It's my second home," he said in the video.

He also brought up the issue of a major number of underprivileged, homeless people on the islands and commented on how they are suffering the brunt of the disaster. "I just can't imagine how they would have fared through this devastation," Cain added.

"Feels weird to personalize this, because this story is not about me, and there are people who need our prayers," his Instagram caption sharing the report said, "On top of that, as anyone knows who’s spent a lot of time there, you have to earn Hawaii as a home."

Cain reflected on having to go through seeing friends and family suffer in such adverse circumstances. "Still, like so many who have been, Hawaii is in my heart," the caption continued, "I’ve spent summers there for over 40 years. I just left two weeks ago. I have countless friends there. And my family is still on West Maui. So here’s part of the story today through my eyes."
