One of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history is tearing through the county, destroying many celebrities’ homes. The fire, which began Tuesday morning, has scorched over 17,000 acres between Malibu and Santa Monica. High winds and arid conditions have fueled its rapid spread, leaving it at zero containment.
Firefighters are battling five major blazes across LA: Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset. The Los Angeles Times reports five confirmed deaths, with over 100,000 residents under evacuation orders. More than 2,000 homes, businesses, and buildings have been destroyed, making this a devastating disaster for the region.
