As Ukrinform reported, wildfires in the United States and powerful storm winds that quickly fan the flames have caused a serious danger on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where celebrity homes are located.

Large-scale wildfires have already engulfed five districts around Los Angeles, forcing at least 180,000 people to evacuate.

At least 16 people have been killed in the fires.
