Drone footage from Thursday (January 15) taken over Malibu showed the extent of damage inflicted on the exclusive beach enclaves just north of the Los Angeles, beachfront and hillside homes razed to the ground.
The wildfire doubled in size to 400 acres (162 hectares) in a few hours, according to Cal Fire.
Almost 100 residents from a nursing home in Pasadena were evacuated, according to CBS News. Video showed elderly residents, many in wheelchairs and on gurneys, crowded onto a smokey and windswept parking lot as fire trucks and ambulances attended.
This was the second blaze to break out in California after a rapidly growing wildfire raged across an upscale section of Los Angeles on Tuesday, destroying numerous buildings and creating traffic jams as more than 30,000 people evacuated.
