Los Angeles is in the grip of unprecedented wildfires that are destroying homes and ending lives.
A fire that started in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on Tuesday morning quickly blazed out of control, and has so far burned more than 17,000 acres and 1,000 structures. Several more fires, including the Eaton fire which has burned more than 10,000 acres and killed at least five people, are tearing throughout the city, exacerbated by high winds that at one point reached 100 miles per hour.
