Fire in Los Angeles: Hollywood stars' homes affected
A state of emergency has already been declared in California (USA) due to massive wildfires. The fire is spreading very quickly. Los Angeles rescuers have ordered the evacuation of more than 100,000 residents of areas near Hollywood, where the estates of world stars are located.
The prestigious Pacific Palisades neighborhood, where many Hollywood stars have their estates, suffered the most from the fires. The fire quickly covered large areas, destroying homes and causing significant damage. The situation is complicated by strong winds, which spread the flames to new areas. In addition to Pacific Palisades, the fire has also affected the Bel Air, Malibu, and Calabasas areas, known for their luxury villas.
