Actor Dick Van Dyke and musician Cher are among thousands of residents who have been told to leave their homes in the city of Malibu after a fast-moving wildfire broke out and burned acres of the wealthy enclave near Los Angeles.
Hundreds of personnel have been deployed to fight the Franklin Fire, which started late on Monday in Malibu Canyon before torching several homes.
Much of Malibu is under a mandatory evacuation order.
No injuries have been reported, but the blaze was still 0% contained as of Wednesday morning, and tens of thousands of homes were without power.
The cause is not yet clear, but the region has been under a red-flag warning, meaning conditions are ripe for extreme fires.
