Officials say the two biggest wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area this week have burned at least 10,000 homes, buildings and other structures

Major fires have killed seven people, ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, and sent thousands of people frantically fleeing their homes.

At least 10 people are dead and many more injured as several fires broke out across Southern California amid historically dry and windy conditions.

The massive fires that have destroyed much of Pacific Palisades and demolished thousands of homes and structures in Los Angeles County threaten an effort to fix California's troubled home insurance market.
