Californians are facing fresh peril over the devastating wildfires as the largest of the blazes continues to spread.
The disaster has already claimed the lives of at least 11 people and destroyed more than 10,000 structures.
Now the expansion of Los Angeles’ Palisades fire has partially shuttered the 405 freeway, as the flames begin to encroach on the celebrity neighborhoods of Mandeville Canyon and Brentwood.
