The process that releases energy from stars is not combustion..So no oxygen is required.
Explanation:
In stars under very high temperature and pressure hydrogen atoms fuse into helium atoms and release energy as Gama rays.
4 hydrogen atoms make one helium atoms and 0.7% of mass is converted into energy as per E= Mc 2
