But his wife Meghan Markle was absent from the fundraiser near their California home due to reported illness.
A source at the event told the Mirror: “We were all hoping Meghan would attend like she did last year but the word is that she is sick and could not make it.”
Harry wore a suit but no socks to the annual Santa Barbara One805Live! event.
He presented an award to local helicopter pilot Loren Courtney soon after arriving at 7pm.
Former chopper pilot Harry joked about how they both felt more at home behind the controls of a helicopter than onstage.
Costner, pop star Pink and Eighties legend Richard Marx all performed at the event.
Harry is expected to travel to New York over the weekend for a series of events including the Diana Awards.
He is also expected to attend a an event held by the Halo Trust, a landmine clearance charity which Diana worked with before she died.
The prince is reportedly set to travel to the UK for an event on September 30.
