Wildfires in Los Angeles have devastated southern California, with scenes resembling an apocalyptic world. Driven by strong 'Santa Ana' winds, the fires reached Hollywood Hills, consuming neighborhoods like Altadena, Pasadena, and Pacific Palisades. Social media videos showed fireballs engulfing homes, and aerial footage captured the iconic area surrounded by flames and thick smoke. Five deaths have been reported, with hundreds of homes destroyed, including those of celebrities. The fires also scorched historical landmarks. The 'Santa Ana' winds, which have gusted over 70 mph, have made firefighting efforts difficult, delaying aerial responses.
