Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least five people, and forecasters warn more high winds may fan the flames further

Three bodies were found in the vicinity of the Eaton fire, with a further two deaths recorded in the Palisades fire

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna says it hasn’t been safe to reach many hard-hit areas and the death toll is “absolutely going to change“

Arson investigators are looking into the start of one fire, in the Palisades, which has gone on to destroy more than 5,300 structures

The Eaton fire is estimated to have destroyed 4,000 to 5,000 structures

A curfew is planned for some areas after police arrest 20 people for looting abandoned homes

Crews dealing with the blaze tell our reporter they are desperately short of water – and fear they are fighting a losing battle
