Massive wildfires roaring through the Los Angeles area have left neighbourhoods in ruins, killing at least five people.
Three major blazes that erupted just a day earlier grew substantially while winds scattered embers far and wide.
More than 100,000 people were under mandatory evacuations.
Here are 13 pictures that show the devastation left by the fires.
