All the A-list celebs whose homes could be destroyed in LA wildfires as 30,000 are forced to flee area
A devastating wildfire broke out on Tuesday (7 January) in Pacific Palisades, California, and was rapidly spread in incredibly dry conditions and high winds.
Fire chief Kristin Crowley has since ordered more than 30,000 people to evacuate the area, with the roaring blaze spread from 20 acres to more than 3,000 in a mere matter of hours.
Thankfully, there have been no injuries in the neighbourhood - which is home to a number of A-list celebrities - but a number of homes have been damaged by the fire with the LA Fire Department saying on Wednesday morning (8 January) that it remains zero percent contained.
