In Southern California, the death toll is rising and the flames are still spreading. "The new fire shows that we are absolutely not out of this extreme weather event," LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley said.

The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of “This Is Us” star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be’s newly installed crib.

The list of celebrities who lost their homes and neighbourhoods in the worst fire in Los Angeles history reads like a Hollywood who's who. Jamie Lee Curtis, James Woods, Mandy Moore, Mark Hamill and Maria Shriver were among those who publicly described being forced to evacuate as out-of-control fires swept across some of the most lavish real estate in the world.

Beverley Hills residents received “another evacuation alert from the LA County Fire Department” but officials “confirmed this was another error."

A wireless emergency evacuation alert was sent to residents across Los Angeles County on Thursday afternoon. However, it was meant for people in the order and warning zones for the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.
