Firefighters in Los Angeles, US, are battling several blazes in the city’s suburbs, prompting the mandatory evacuation of more 80,000 people.

The fires were sparked by a combination of dry conditions and powerful winds.

Currently, authorities say there is no possibility of bringing some of the fires under control.

More than 2,000 structures have been burnt with 80,000 residents under evacuation orders. Five people have also been killed in the fire.

Many Hollywood stars including Ben Affleck, Paris Hilton, Adam Brody, Eugene Levy, Miles Teller Leighton Meester, Anna Faris, Billy Crystal, and many more have been forced to evacuate their mansions which have been destroyed by fire.

According to BBC, seven fires are currently being tackled.
