Raging wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least 11 people and destroyed hundreds of buildings. More than 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as fierce winds hampered firefighting efforts and fuelled the flames, which have burned uncontrollably since erupting on Tuesday.
By Friday, January 10, nearly 2,900 acres (1,200 hectares) had been scorched, and numerous buildings destroyed in the area between the beach towns of Santa Monica and Malibu, according to officials.
