Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes as a wildfire in the Pacific Palisades killed at least five people and burned more than 21,000 acres within three days, reaching 8% containment Friday as firefighting efforts continue.

Cover Media video posted Jan. 9, 2024 shows raw footage of the destruction of multiple buildings in Pacific Palisades after California wildfires spread across the Los Angeles area this week.

Though the Palisades and Eaton fires are smaller, they rank high in structures burned. Combined, they would equal the second-most destructive California wildfire in history, with more than 9,000 structures burned, according to early Cal Fire estimates. A more detailed analysis of the total number of destroyed structures is still underway.

The deadly wildfires roaring through Los Angeles County entered a fourth day on Friday. At least 10 people have been killed, about 150,000 are under mandatory evacuation orders and more than 10,000 homes and other structures have been destroyed,
