Extraordinary drone footage has highlighted the unprecedented extent of damage across California as once magnificent homes, million-dollar celebrity enclaves and a total of 10,000 structures are reduced to grey, ash covered rubble.

Aerial views from the once-bustling neighborhoods showed a sorry sight - lavish homes obliterated, soot-covered streets, and eviscerated vegetation.

On Thursday, the monstrous wildfires raging through Los Angeles reached the affluent suburbs of Calabasas and Hidden Hills - home to celebrities like the Kardashians.

An urgent evacuation order was issued for the upper Los Angeles-Ventura County border as the new apocalyptic inferno - named the Kenneth Fire - tore through West Hills, burning everything in its path.

The death toll has also risen to seven, but the real number is likely higher - as dogs trained to detect human remains were given access to the charred remains of properties in fire-ravaged neighborhoods.
