LA fire \u2018apocalypse\u2019 rips through Hollywood Hills & 130,000 told leave NOW after celeb enclaves turned to ash & 5 killed<\/h2>\n

Updated January 9, 2025<\/p>\n

A WILDFIRE “apocalypse” is ripping through Los Angeles forcing 130,000 to flee their homes and killing five.<\/p>\n

Celebrity enclaves in the Hollywood Hills and Pacific Palisades have been turned to ash in what officials say are the most destructive blazes in the city’s history.<\/p>\n

A-listers like Paris Hilton, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Anthony Hopkins, and Billy Crystal have seen their homes reduced to smouldering rubble.<\/p>\n

Celebrity haunts have been left as ghost towns as gusty winds and dry conditions have allowed the five major fires – named Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset – to quickly spread.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump and LA locals have dubbed to the fires “apocalyptic” with black smoke blocking out the sky and glowing red embers blowing across the city.<\/p>\n

The Palisades fire is the most destructive in Los Angeles’s history and has burned more than 17,000 acres, according to Cal Fire. https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/13248955\/death-number-of-injuries-la-fires-growing-zero-containment\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Updated January 9, 2025<\/p>\n

More than 2,000 homes, businesses and other buildings have been damaged or destroyed and at least five people are dead in wildfires scorching communities across Los Angeles County<\/a>, making this one of the most destructive firestorms to hit the region in memory.<\/p>\n

The five bodies were found in three structures in Altadena, where the Eaton fire<\/a> exploded Tuesday night, giving residents little time to flee. It is estimated that more than 1,000 structures have been destroyed in the Palisades fire<\/a> and another 1,000 either damaged or destroyed in the Eaton fire, according to the L.A. County Fire Department.<\/p>\n

Firefighting resources were strained further when the Sunset fire<\/a> erupted in the Hollywood Hills<\/a> area around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, prompting evacuations in the Runyon Canyon area. About four hours later, it had burned 60 acres, but firefighters made big gains<\/a>. https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2025-01-08\/fire-weather-fierce-winds-los-angeles<\/a><\/p>\n
