Wildfires have been rapidly spreading across areas of California, with thousands of people displaced as they’ve been forced to flee to safety. Parts affected include Malibu, the Hollywood Hills area and Runyon Canyon.

So far, five people have been killed according to officials, with over 1000 homes destroyed and 70,000 people evacuated. Declared as a state of emergency, the fires have turned the once-glamorous streets into a battleground for the firefighters.

Reports of water shortages and intense winds have made it virtually impossible to even begin to contain the spreading fires. Homes owned by the likes of Paris Hilton, Harrison Ford and Billy Crystal have also been destroyed.

Dozens of fires have been reported across the region, with fires in Hurst, Eaton, Woodley, Palisades and Runyon Canyon – with the fires now so substantial they span more than 25,000 acres, and the smoke visible from space, as per the Nasa Space Observatory.

Having now declared a state of emergency, all resources are being deployed to try and bring the fires under control, with President Joe Biden having responded directly to the crisis by approving the allocation of more aid.
