Nothing will stop her from sliving the lush life.

Paris Hilton is facing the wrath of social media while she reportedly still vacations in Maui, Hawaii, with her husband, Carter Reum, and their 8-month-old son, Phoenix, as vicious wildfires rage on in the nearby town of Lahaina.

In new pictures obtained Monday by The Post, Hilton, 42, carries her only child around an exclusive resort in Wailea, which is only 30 miles from the flame-engulfed area.

“The Simple Life” star donned a light blue beach coverup and a seashell bag while Reum, 42, walked the beach shirtless in pink swim trunks.

“Paris Hilton heard about the Maui wildfire devastation and said ‘That’s hot,‘” one critic wrote, bashing her on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, in reference to her famous Y2K catchphrase.

“Are they supposed to be sad and stay indoors bc strangers are going through a crisis?” one asked.

A second chimed in: “While the world burns, the Hiltons play. Must be nice to be so disconnected from reality.”

“Disgusting. They’ve asked all tourists to leave the island,” another wrote.

The socialite’s vacation comes after the Hawaii Tourism Authority pleaded with tourists on Wednesday to vacate the island after 96 people had been confirmed dead due to the ongoing inferno.

“Visitors who are on non-essential travel are being asked to leave Maui, and non-essential travel to Maui is strongly discouraged at this time,” wrote the agency. “In the days and weeks ahead, our collective resources and attention must be focused on the recovery of residents and communities that were forced to evacuate their homes and businesses.”

A source close to Hilton told The Post on Monday that her presence in Hawaii was “initially a planned family trip, and she has been traveling to Maui since she was born.”

They further claimed: “She has many friends and family there and it’s a second home for her. Her uncle’s restaurant in Lahaina burned down so they decided to shorten their trip and go to see their family and help where they could.”

Paris and Reum apparently donated supplies including “toilet paper, toothbrushes, and other needed household supplies to local shelters and places set up for supply donations.”

The Post has contacted reps for Hilton for comment.

One Hilton fan took to X to praise her for remaining on the island.

“She’s on the other side of the island not trying to get into shelters with camera crew like Oprah,” they wrote, referencing Oprah Winfrey, who has lived on Maui part-time for 15 years and recently tried to film survivors of the wildfires. “Yes it’s a little silly to go to Maui while the other side is facing such devastating hardship however maybe the paps shouldn’t be there taking pictures.”

Meanwhile, “Aquaman” star and Honolulu native Jason Momoa begged non-natives on the island Saturday to flee the popular vacation destination.

“Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now,” he wrote on Instagram. “DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI.

“Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply,” he continued, calling for donations and for travelers to cancel their planned trips.

“Mahalo to everyone who has donated and shown aloha to the community in this time of need.”
