Wildfire

Firefighters are working diligently to control a wildfire in the coastal community of Malibu, California, where 6,300 residents have evacuated their homes as schools and businesses closed their doors.

A large blaze swept through Malibu, destroying at least seven homes in one of California's most sought-after locations, leading to the evacuation of thousands.

At least 130 homes have been lost due to a wildfire sweeping through the outskirts of Los Angeles, as a change in the weather provided firefighters with a window to combat the blaze.
