The Palisades fire started Tuesday morning and the Eaton fire in Pasadena started not long after.
More than 180,000 people in Los Angeles have been evacuated, a modest estimate of 9,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed and at least 10 people have lost their lives.
Four additional fires are burning in Topanga/Calabasas, Acton, Simi Valley and the Hollywood Hills.
The fires were fueled by Santa Ana winds, which saw gusts of up to 80 to 100 miles per hour on Tuesday and Wednesday as firefighters tried to control the blazes.
Entire neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have been wiped off the map by the fires.
The Calabasas fire, dubbed the Kenneth Fire, was reportedly caused by an arsonist who was apprehended by police.
A total of 29,053 hectares of land was scorched Friday morning in Los Angeles’ worst fire yet.
Many celebrities saw their multi-million dollar homes razed to the ground as the fire spread to Hollywood Hills and Calabasas.

“Every inch of our home was filled with love. Beautiful memories that cannot be taken away.
“We are of course heartbroken, but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.”
