Powerful wildfires are raging across Los Angeles County in California. The devastating blazes have killed at least 11 people and burned more than 12,000 structures to the ground since Tuesday.
A preliminary estimate by AccuWeather put the damage and economic losses so far between $135 billion and $150 billion, which is projected to be one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
The fires have destroyed thousands of properties across the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, home to many Hollywood stars and executives with multimillion-dollar properties.
Below are some photos of the destruction:
