10:35It affected Eugene Levy, the iconic musician Diane Warren, the Oscar winning actor Anthony Hopkins.
10:41The recent flames have erupted due to a combination of natural and human driven factors.
10:45The strong Santa Ana winds which had reached a speed of up to 100 miles per hour were enough to fan the flames that led to an extreme and rapid expansion.
10:53The region was rather dry and low in humidity so the erratic wind only heightened the flames intensity.
10:58This cause is still being investigated but experts have suggested that it could have been due to power lines, unextinguished campfires and vehicle accidents.
