Countless residents have received evacuation orders as wildfires sweep through a luxury neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Pacific Palisades, which houses celebrities and billionaires, is one of three regions currently under evacuation as flames consume structures and damage vehicles across various parts of southern California.

Two additional locations affected include Altadena, situated directly north of Pasadena, and Sylmar, a suburb of Los Angeles.

Wildfire season in California typically does not peak in January, but ongoing drought and the most intense winds seen in over a decade have contributed to the current situation.
