Photos from California wildfires show shocking before and after at historic state parks: 'Devastating'

The historic home of movie cowboy legend Will Rogers and buildings at Topanga State Park were decimated by the raging wildfires in Los Angeles, according to a news release from California State Parks.

At Will Rogers State Historic Park (WRSHP), where Hollywood’s highest-paid actor in the 1930s lived, the home overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica was destroyed.

Before and after pictures from California State Parks showed the level of devastation of the ranch, where just fireplaces remained standing.
