The Palisades fire started on Tuesday morning and the Eaton fire in Pasadena began not long after.
More than 180,000 people in Los Angeles have been evacuated, a modest estimate of 9,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed and at least 10 people have lost their lives.
There are four additional fires burning in Topanga/Calabasas, Acton, Simi Valley and the Hollywood Hills.
The fires were sparked by the Santa Ana winds, which saw gusts of up to 80 to 100mph on Tuesday and Wednesday as fire fighters tried to get a handle on the blazes.
Entire neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have been wiped off the map due to the blazes.
The Calabasas blaze, named the Kenneth Fire, was allegedly caused by an arsonist, who has been apprehended by police.
A total of 29,053 acres of land has been scorched as of Friday morning in Los Angeles’ worst fire to date.
Many celebrities have seen their multi-million dollar mansions razed to the ground as the fire spread to Hollywood Hills and Calabasas.
