A FIRE crew strides towards the danger in the desperate battle against the latest Californian wildfire.
About 72,000 acres has burnt in four days, with just three per cent of the fires put out, despite the efforts of 1,000 firefighters.
Planes have dropped red fire retardant on the flames engulfing Los Padres National Forest in Solvang.
So far, three people have been injured, with about 460 buildings under threat.
Last year, thousands of fires destroyed more than a million acres in California .
The Pacific Palisades, a haven for A-Lister types, was hit by the horrific infernos with firefighters battling to get the blazes under control.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s mansion, where they lived with their two young children, was reduced to smoking rubble.
Paris Hilton’s Malibu beach house and Billy Crystal’s sprawling home were also burnt down.
Actors John Goodman, Miles Teller and Anthony Hopkins also saw their houses destroyed.
At least five separate blazes spread across the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Woodley.
Parts of Sunset Boulevard were also torched, leaving one of the most iconic streets in the world reduced to smoking rubble.
Some 100,000 people were forced to evacuate Eaton with 30,000 fleeing the Palisades, turning celebrity haunts into ghost towns.
