A fast-moving wildfire has ignited in the hills above Hollywood Boulevard, threatening some of Los Angeles' most iconic tourist destinations.
Two new wildfires erupted overnight in the Hollywood Hills and Studio City, adding to the challenges faced by firefighters already battling two major wildfires that have killed five people so far, forced 130,000 residents to evacuate, and devastated communities from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena. Fire crews are racing to contain the fires as they spread across the region, leaving widespread destruction in their wake.
The fires have consumed a total of about 42 square miles -- nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.
