There are a couple of obvious reasons why a small number of 'famous people' die in natural disasters.

1. The victims of natural disasters tend to be poor people living in rural communities in poor countries that don't have much earthquake/flood protection. Rich and famous people tend not to spend much time living in these places.

2. Only a tiny proportion of the world's population can be described as 'famous', and even less of them would be famous to Americans, or even any country outside the one they're best known in. About 100 people died in the Christchurch earthquakes, out of a total population of almost 400,000. A famous person would have to be pretty unlucky to be caught up in that.
