He said parts of Abaco are decimated.
He added that the country can expect more deaths to be recorded and asked for prayer for the families of those who lost their lives.
The prime minister also urged citizens not to make the grief worse for families by spreading pictures of those who died.
Up to yesterday evening, all of the counties in Florida State remained under a state of emergency, although tropical storm watch was lifted for Broward County and Palm Beach county.
The Fort Lauderdale Airport airport was reopened.
However the states of Georgia and South Carolina were put on alert as Dorian continued to move north.
