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.

      I rented a shitty apartment in the Hollywood Hills. Trust me, I didn’t have a first house, let alone a second or third.

        I’m just now learning that “hollywood hills” is an officially delineated neighborhood, including some regular-people housing that’s not actually in the hills. Granted, I think the fire was up in the hills, though it was completely contained.
