Firefighters in California are continuing to battle the three biggest fires that are still burning in areas across Los Angeles. Officials insist they are well-prepared, with almost 5,000 firefighters tackling the Palisades fire alone. The largest, Palisades, which has burnt through more than 23,000 acres, is 13% contained.

The resurgence of powerful winds across Southern California threatened to slow the containment of historically destructive wildfires that have so far left 24 people dead and thousands of homes destroyed.

The LA wildfires risk spreading as extreme winds pick up speed. More than 92,000 people are under evacuation orders, California officials warned.

LA Mayor Karen Bass says "urgent preparations" are being made ahead of near hurricane-force winds peaking on Tuesday.
