Firefighters scrambled to corral a fast-moving wildfire in the Los Angeles hillsides dotted with celebrity homes as a potentially "life-threatening, destructive" windstorm hit Southern California on Tuesday, fanning the blaze seen for miles while roads were clogged with cars.
Forecasters warned the worst may be yet to come with the windstorm predicted to last for days, producing isolated gusts that could top 100 mph in mountains and foothills.
The Palisades Fire swiftly consumed more than 200 acres (81 hectares) of dry brush and sent up a huge plume of smoke visible across the city.
Actor James Woods posted footage of flames burning through bushes and past palm trees on a hill near his Pacific Palisades home, describing his imminent evacuation.
