The biggest wildfire had ripped through over 19,000 acres (7,700 hectares) of the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood, while another fire in Altadena had torched 13,000 acres (5,300 hectares).
The fast-moving flames have destroyed or damaged more than 9,000 structures across California. Some of them are multimillion-dollar homes including those owned by celebrities Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, Anthony Hopkins and Billy Crystal, among many others.
At least five deaths were reported by authorities, while nearly 180,000 people across Los Angeles remained under evacuation orders.
