A fresh Los Angeles wildfire that ignited in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night is threatening homes and iconic L.A. landmarks, and it’s prompted authorities to issue expanding evacuation orders.

The rapidly growing Sunset Fire that’s threatening Hollywood landmarks along with homes was one of multiple fires burning out of control across Los Angeles County into Thursday morning.

Five deaths were confirmed in one of the blazes which have razed at least 2,000 structures, including the homes of Hollywood actor Billy Crystal and media personality Paris Hilton, and forced tens of thousands of residents to evacuate.

    2000 homes, assuming 4 per house, that’s 8000 newly homeless people.

    Insurance? What insurance? No! Your policy doesn’t cover wild fires. If you read the small text, it says that only fires coming from human powered non electric bicycles is covered.
