Several Hollywood A-listers lost their homes to the devastating wildfire in Los Angeles, which wreaked havoc in Pacific Palisades, a posh neighborhood known for its luxury homes, malls, and businesses, now reduced to ashes.

Over 100,000 residents were ordered to evacuate as the ferocious fire, still uncontained, tore through neighborhoods and left a trail of destruction.

According to California fire protection authorities, the blaze destroyed over 1,000 buildings and thousands of other structures in the foothills near Altadena and Pasadena, north of Los Angeles.

The fire ignited around 10:30 am (18:30 GMT) on Tuesday in Pacific Palisades, scorching nearly 1,200 hectares (approximately 3,000 acres).

It also caused widespread power outages, leaving around 1.5 million people, including 957,700 in Los Angeles County, without electricity.
