The wildfires, which are still raging in the hills to the north of the American West Coast city, have already claimed several properties belonging to celebrities. Paris Hilton, John Goodman, and Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles are among thousands of people in the area whose homes have been destroyed.

The worst-affected areas so far have been the Pacific Palisades and Eaton areas, where houses have been completely burnt down in the inferno. According to reports from the US, a mansion in the Los Angeles County area of Altadena, which has been used in dozens of films and TV shows, has also been lost.

Deadline reported that the 19th century property had been destroyed, and several official images of the house engulfed in flames have confirmed those reports. The Andrew McNally House, which was most recently used as a location in the American comedy-drama series Hacks, was featured in several major productions.

The 2001 film Kingdom Come filmed scenes there, while the TV show Entourage featured the house heavily in one of its earliest episodes. Over 100 years ago, the Max Linder film Seven Years Bad Luck – which was written and directed by Linder and also starred him as a fictionalised version of himself – also filmed scenes in the mansion.

Massive wildfires that engulfed whole neighborhoods and displaced thousands in Los Angeles remained totally uncontained January 9, 2025, authorities said, as US National Guard soldiers readied to hit the streets to help quell disorder. Swaths of the United States' second-largest city lay in ruins, with smoke blanketing the sky and an acrid smell pervading almost every building.
