Paris Hilton, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Mel Gibson, and Billy Crystal are among the celebrities who have lost their homes in the wildfires raging across Los Angeles.
Thousands of firefighters were attempting to contain the original LA fire in Palisades - which has burnt nearly 16,000 acres - and seven other blazes raging through southern California which threaten to destroy more homes and lives as strong winds scatter embers.
The wildfires have seen the city declare a state of emergency, with at least 70,000 people forced to evacuate their homes as the metropolitan area became blanketed in a thick cloud of smoke and ash.
The latest update saw a new fire break out in the Hollywood Hills, threatening a host of tourist sites including the Walk of Fame.
US socialite Hilton said she was "heartbroken beyond words" to see her Malibu home "burn to the ground on live TV" as she watched the news with her family - including her son Phoenix and daughter London whom she shares with husband Carter Reum.
"This home was where we built so many precious memories. It's where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London," she said in a post on Instagram.
"While the loss is overwhelming, I'm holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe,” Hilton added.
It comes months after a trailer on the set of her Bad Bitch Academy music video set fire, which saw "so many of my favourite things destroyed", Hilton said at the time.
Meanwhile, actor Crystal, and his wife Janice, have confirmed their home of 46 years was destroyed in the blaze.
"Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing," the couple said in a joint statement given to the PA news agency.
"Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can't be taken away.
"We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this."

“Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional,” the Mad Max actor told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Reports about losing the home he’d lived in for 15 years.
“You live there for a long time, and you had all your stuff. I had my stuff there, and it’s all like, I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff, because it’s all in cinders.”

This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia, 47, and his heavily pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated their Malibu home on Tuesday and also watched their house get destroyed through their security cameras.
“You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and what not and then you see your neighbors houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks,” Ventimiglia told CBS.
“I think there's a kind of shock moment where you go, ‘Oh, this is real. This is happening.’ And then at a certain point we just turned it off. Like what good is it to continue watching? You know, we kind of accepted the loss.”
The former Gilmore Girls star was filmed walking around the rubble of his home after the fire trying to salvage anything he could. The crib he and his wife - who is due to give birth any day now - had set up for their child was ruined in the blaze.
