Multiple wildfires, including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, are raging across southern California early Thursday, leaving at least 5 dead and burning more than 27,000 acres, officials say. The Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles is the most recent to break out.

A series of wildfires is raging across the Los Angeles suburbs, and firefighters are struggling to get control. The fires that are devastating Pasadena and the Pacific Palisades are threatening to spread further into other areas of southern California.

The Sunset Fire erupted in the densely populated Hollywood Hills late Wednesday, prompting more evacuations in areas like Hollywood Boulevard and Runyon Canyon Park. The wildfires tearing through Los Angeles are creating surreal, apocalyptic scenes, including for TV reporters on the ground covering them.

Mandatory evacuation orders have been set across Los Angeles as fast-moving fires continue to spread throughout the city. The fires are burning on opposite sides of Los Angeles. T

The stretch of Sunset Boulevard near the fire is lined with well-known venues and landmarks, including the TCL Chinese Theatre and Hollywood Bowl.
