Over 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes after fast-moving wildfires have torn through Southern California, showing no signs of slowing down.

Fires swept through the affluent neighbourhoods of Pacific Palisades and Eaton on Tuesday evening, rapidly doubling in size as they were fanned by winds of over 100mph – the strongest the region has seen in over a decade.
