Hollywood is immersed in a terrifying atmosphere like the “end of the world”: A series of villas of stars are destroyed, forest fires cannot be controlled
Officials said the situation could continue to spread across Los Angeles, prompting celebrities and local residents to evacuate to save their lives.
More than 37,000 residents, including many celebrities and industry leaders, were still under evacuation orders and at least five people were killed when a massive fire ravaged the Los Angeles area this week.
Strong winds are hampering the efforts of firefighters and the fires are completely out of control. The fire is still spreading over an area of tens of thousands of square meters and destroying about 3000 buildings of various sizes – as of January 8 (local time).

Pacific Palisades – the coastal hillside area that is also home to several celebrities such as Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore and James Woods – is also one of the most severely affected areas.
Los Angeles Fire Chief Robert Luna spoke about the evacuation order and told residents directly that their lives depended on whether they themselves acted on government warnings.
“You must be ready in all situations. If you are in a warning area, make sure you bring essential items such as important papers, medicines, etc. to be able to survive for at least 1 week. But if you’re asked to evacuate urgently under orders, remember – nothing is worth your life. Listen to the police, the firefighters there and prepare to evacuate,” Luna informed.
The fires have caused 10% of schools in Los Angeles to close.
