California Wildfires Have Destroyed 2,000 Buildings So Far

A wildfire in the Los Angeles area of California has destroyed nearly 2,000 buildings and homes. The fire is so intense that it has forced evacuations from the homes of Hollywood stars and even Vice President Kamala Harris. So far, five people have died in the fire.

About 300,000 people have been instructed to evacuate to safe areas. The fire has spread a blanket of smoke over the entire region. Among the stars whose homes have been destroyed are Mandy Moore, Cary Elwes, and Paris Hilton.

Billy Crystal and his wife, Janice, lost their 45-year-old home in the Palisades fire. It is believed that rising temperatures and reduced rainfall due to climate change have had a significant impact on California's wildfire season, which is starting earlier and lasting longer.
