The four ongoing fires - Palisades, Eaton, Hurst and Woodley - are 0 percent contained with five people killed and more than 1,000 structures burnt.

Palisades, the first blaze to break out on Tuesday, has now become the most destructive in LA's history, officials there say

Firefighters in Los Angeles experience a shortage of water as they try to contain wildfires burning in and around the city

More than 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate from the Eaton fire, and 37,000 from the Palisades inferno.
