In the midst of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, a viral video showed a luxurious property that was listed for $35 million (about ₹288 crore) on Zillow, a well-known online real estate marketplace based in the United States. The horrific effects of the fires that have devastated the city since Tuesday are captured in the dramatic video. The horrifying effects of the Los Angeles wildfires are depicted in the distant footage, which shows a magnificent estate engulfed in flames with tall walls of fire encircling the fence.
Los Angeles suffers greatly from wildfires.
Wildfires raging through the Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Altadena, and Hollywood Hills neighborhoods have had a devastating effect on Los Angeles, the birthplace of Hollywood, the nation's most recognizable film and television business. Strong, dry Santa Ana winds are to blame for the fires, which have caused over 100,000 people to evacuate and cost at least five lives.
The fires have burned over 42 square miles (108 square kilometers), which is nearly the size of San Francisco, and destroyed about 1,500 buildings. A number of famous residences in the Hollywood Hills and Pacific Palisades are among the impacted estates.
Due to the region's extended dry spell—Southern California has seen very little precipitation since early May—the wildfires have been able to grow quickly. Firefighters are having difficulty containing the fire because of the winds that have exacerbated the conflagration.
California's continuous wildfires have left large swaths of the state looking like a "bombed" landscape as they burned into Friday for the fourth day in a row. To keep the infernos under control, firefighters have been fighting nonstop.
The Associated Press reports that the fire destroyed every home in one neighborhood, leaving only the street boundaries. Another neighborhood looked like a "patchwork" of houses that had already been destroyed by the fire and those that were still standing.
Evacuees encountered the devastation caused by the flames as they started to return to their neighborhoods. A burnt-out outdoor fireplace lay next to a swimming pool, its water turned brackish from soot, and charred timbers marked the places where structures formerly stood. A married couple was observed looking around the burning ruins of their house, while another person, with an arm over their face, was observed standing next to a house that had been "bombed" to a shell.
