As fires rage, more iconic landmarks in Los Angeles are coming under threat.
Large parts of the metropolitan area of the city are under evacuation orders, which include some of the most famous spots in the US, let alone California.
They include the Capitol Records building, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hollywood Bowl, one of the city’s biggest entertainment venues.
The Hollywood sign is also near the evacuation area, as is the Griffith Observatory – made famous in the 1955 film Rebel Without A Cause.
The Los Angeles Zoo, also in the mountainous Griffith Park, is closed.
The Magic Castle, the private club attached to the Academy of Magical Arts, has temporarily closed as the Sunset fire spreads nearby.
Landmarks destroyed
Several landmarks and buildings have already been destroyed by the fires.
The iconic Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles has been left “in ruins” by the Palisades fire, according to eyewitness reports (see 7.35am post).
Theatre Palisades, a community theatre founded in 1963 by a trio of television writers, sustained “serious damage,” according to its website.
The grounds of the Getty Villa, an art museum, have also burnt, though it’s believed the art has remained undamaged.
The Altadena Golf Course, which dates from 1910, sustained serious damage as well, according to a video post on its Facebook page.
The Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center also told congregants on its website that its buildings were lost to the fire.
Two popular state parks, the Will Rogers State Park and Topanga State Park, have also been severely affected by the wildfires.
Malibu Feed Bin, a much-beloved pet supplies store, announced that it had been “lost” to the flames.
