The fire also destroyed the historic Paramount Ranch where HBO’s Westworld was filmed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has blamed the wildfires on “gross mismanagement of the forests.”
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio responded by tweeting that the wildfires worsened due to climate change.
“The reason these wildfires have worsened is because of climate change and a historic drought. Helping victims and fire relief efforts in our state should not be a partisan issue,” he wrote.
Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande manager Scooter Braun shared a photo of Trump’s tweet on Instagram, writing, “98% of the land that has burned is federally owned.”
“Mr. President it was under your watch that their budgets were cut. I’m not so left-leaning that everything done under your watch I think is bad or unjust… but what I know… what you have shown… is you are unfit to lead,” he wrote.
The blaze was part of an outbreak of wildfires on both ends of the state. Together, they were blamed for 44 deaths, including two in celebrity-studded Malibu in Southern California, where firefighters appeared to be gaining ground against a roughly 370-square-kilometre blaze that destroyed at least 370 structures, with hundreds more feared lost.
All told, more than 8,000 firefighters statewide were battling wildfires that destroyed more than 7,000 structures and scorched more than 840 square kilometres, the flames feeding on dry brush and driven by blowtorch winds.
The 42 dead in Northern California surpassed the deadliest single fire on record, a 1933 blaze in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. A series of wildfires in Northern California’s wine country last fall killed 44 people and destroyed more than 5,000 homes.
