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,

The high school where Brian De Palma brough Stephen King’s “Carrie” to life, Will Rogers’ ranch house and a motel owned by William Randolph Hearst are among some of the famous structures that were damaged or destroyed by the California Fires.

At least five people died in fires raging across Los Angeles. Several of them appeared to have lived near each other in the ravaged Altadena neighborhood.
