One of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history is tearing its way through the county and destroying many celebrities‘ homes.
The wildfire, which broke out on Tuesday morning, is currently scorching over 17,000 acres.
It exploded between Malibu and Santa Monica with zero containment, high winds, and arid conditions fueling the disaster across thousands of acres of land.
Due to the fire rapidly expanding, firefighters have been unable to contain it as they are battling five across LA: Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset.
The Los Angeles Times has reported five confirmed deaths so far and more than 100,000 residents are under evacuation orders.
More than 2,000 homes, businesses, and other buildings have also been destroyed in the fire.
The neighborhood of Pacific Palisades in Southern California has been completely evacuated.
CNN’s Leigh Waldman reported from the scene: “Everyone keeps saying ‘apocalyptic,’ but that doesn’t begin to cover it.”
The largest fire, in the Pacific Palisades area, where many celebrities reside has meant many are dealing with the consequences of the fires.
