Four wildfires are currently burning around Los Angeles, with two others now described as being contained.

The largest of them is spreading east and now threatens the wealthy neighbourhood of Brentwood - where new evacuation orders have been issued.

At least 11 people have been killed so far and 13 others are missing.

The disaster has also led to more than 12,000 homes and other structures being destroyed since Tuesday.

Senior officials, including the mayor and fire chief, have defended their preparations and response to the fires,

A forecast for more strong winds, predicted to last until Wednesday, has raised fears the blazes could spread further.
