Parts of Sunset Boulevard were also set on fire, leaving one of the most famous streets in the world reduced to smoking ruins.
About 100,000 people were forced to evacuate Eaton, and 30,000 fled the Palisades, turning celebrity spots into ghost towns.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody
Actors Adam and Leighton, who bought their five-bedroom mansion in 2019, saw it burn down during raging bushfires.
The $7 million home was gutted by fire on Wednesday, just days after the couple appeared together at the Golden Globe Awards.
They lived in a huge house together with their two young daughters.
The gruesome pictures showed its roof completely gone, its walls gutted by flames, and clouds of black smoke billowing from what was left of the building.

The socialite’s house was one of many that were razed – although it is said not to be her main residence.
Insiders told TMZ on Wednesday that she was “burnt out.”

“We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that cannot be taken away.
“Of course our hearts are broken, but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.”
