Wildfires are ripping across parts of Los Angeles, leading to at least five deaths and burning down hundreds of buildings.
Nearly 180,000 LA residents have been told to evacuate and authorities say they’re doing what they can to ascertain if any more people have died.
The Palisades fire, one of the five still burning, is thought to be "one of the worst natural disasters in the history of LA" – it now covers covering 17,200 acres and is 0% contained.
Officials are hopeful that the "tide is turning", with LA’s city fire chief saying winds – which helped the fires to spread – are forecast to "subside" today, and aerial firefighting allowed to resume.
