The Los Angeles fires, which began Tuesday in the Pacific Palisades, have left at least five people dead and destroyed communities ranging from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena. The Pacific Palisades fire is the most destructive in L.A. history, with more than 1,000 structures destroyed.

Wednesday night, a fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills, bringing the flames closer to the heart of Los Angeles and densely populated neighborhoods. The Sunset fire, in the Hollywood Hills, also posed a threat to nearby iconic locations such as the Hollywood Bowl, Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre.

But firefighters were able to get the Sunset fire under control after it burned through 43 acres, with the Los Angeles Fire Department lifting all evacuation orders for the area early Thursday morning.

Strong winds have fueled the spread of the fires, but calmer winds Thursday allowed firefighters to make some progress in battling the blazes.

As of Thursday morning, the fires had consumed roughly 45 square miles, according to the Associated Press, about the size of the city of San Francisco.

Numerous stars have lost their homes in the fires including Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy, Mandy Moore, Anna Faris, James Woods, Diane Warren and Paris Hilton.
