LA wildfires: Latest update on devastating blaze as death toll rises to 10 | LIVE

California firefighters reported some progress fighting the wildfires that have charred hillsides, homes and streets in Los Angeles County, but the strong winds that fanned the flames were expected to pick up again on Friday, worsening conditions. The fires, engulfing iconic Los Angeles neighborhoods and tearing through the Hollywood Hills, have so far killed 10 people and destroyed nearly 10,000 structures. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said late on Thursday he expected the death toll to grow. "It looks like an atomic bomb dropped in these areas. I don't expect good news, and we're not looking forward to those numbers," Luna told a press conference. The Palisades Fire between Santa Monica and Malibu on the city's western flank and the Eaton Fire in the east near Pasadena already rank as the most destructive in Los Angeles history. They have consumed more than 34,000 acres — or some 53 square miles — and turned entire neighborhoods to ash.
