A wildfire 'apocalypse' in Los Angeles has forced 130,000 people to flee their homes, killed five, and destroyed celebrity enclaves in the Hollywood Hills and Pacific Palisades. A-listers like Paris Hilton and John Goodman have lost their homes. The fires are the most destructive in the city's history, with properties reduced to rubble and iconic locations threatened. President Biden has declared a major disaster, schools are closed, and power outages affect millions. Political figures argue about preparedness and blame each other for the catastrophic situation.
