The Palisades Fire has grown to nearly 20,000-acres, while fire officials estimated that more than 5,300 structures have been destroyed by the blaze. The previous destruction estimate was 1,000+ structures burned.

Five people are confirmed dead Wednesday and at least a thousand structures have been destroyed by four southern California wildfires in Los Angeles County as windstorms up to hurricane strength continue to fan flames.

The Palisades fire, Pasadena's Eaton fire and Hurst fire in the San Fernando Valley are raging in the Los Angeles area, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds. At least two people are dead and over 1,000 structures are burned,
