The Palisades Fire erupted Tuesday morning amid high winds in a region that has not seen significant rainfall in more than six months.
More than 30,000 people have been evacuated, often with only their pets and the shirts on their backs.
Sunset Boulevard in the Palisades was lined with abandoned luxury cars as residents abandoned their vehicles to flee on foot.
Blocks of expensive homes were reduced to rubble as the fires moved at a rate of three football field lengths per minute.
A stretch of beachfront homes along the Pacific Coast Highway burned to the ground.
The fire reached the Getty Villa, but museum officials assured the public that all art and artifacts are safe.
The Palisades fire isn’t the only fire raging in Los Angeles. The Eaton fire in the Pasadena area has claimed two lives and caused the evacuation of a senior center.
A number of celebrities have lost their homes, including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Anna Faris, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman and Miles Teller.
