The fires around Los Angeles arrived just as Hollywood's awards season kicked off. It's an ominous sign at a time when film and TV production is already down.

The Sunset fire has grown rapidly and is threatening a swath of Los Angeles that contains the Hollywood Bowl and the Chinese Theater.

Hollywood celebrities are among the thousands of Southern California residents who have lost their homes amid the blaze. More than 2,000 structures and 17,230 acres have burned in the ongoing Los Angeles County fires, reports the Los Angeles Times. The outlet called it “one of the most destructive firestorms to hit the region in memory.”
