Aerial footage showed wildfires raging over parts of Los Angeles on Thursday (January 9).

The fires continued over the Studio City and Pacific Palisades neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California.

Wildfires surrounding Los Angeles spread to the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday, after other fires in the area killed at least five people, destroyed hundreds of homes and stretched firefighting resources and water supplies to the limit.

More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate as dry, hurricane-force winds hindered firefighting operations and spread the fires, which have burned thousands of acres since they began on Tuesday.
