California wildfires live updates: 5 dead as blazes spread to Hollywood Hills, more than 100,000 evacuated The Palisades Fire has spread almost 27 square miles and destroyed more than 1,000 structures, making it the most destructive ever in Los Angeles.

The 10,396-acre Hughes fire reached 56% containment Friday as first responders made progress controlling multiple blazes burning in Los Angeles County, which is expected to receive rain over the weekend that could be capable of producing floods and mudslides in several burned areas.

The fire — which erupted near Castaic Lake in Los Angeles County, north of Santa Clarita, late Wednesday morning — has grown to over 10,000 acres.
