An influencer has sparked controversy after warning Californians that 'all these homeless people have been waiting for their moment' to wreak havoc amid the chaos of the fires devastating the US. Taking to social media, Leo Skepi, who has 4.7 million followers on TikTok urged people in Los Angeles to prepare for 'round two' after the blaze, which will be a 'battle for resources'.

Viewers are divided, with some slamming the creator - who, it is understood, in the summer moved from LA to Texas - for 'fearmongering' while others say his sentiments 'make so much sense'. He claimed that a 'crime free for all' was on the horizon because police and emergency services are occupied with the inferno, and said everyone - especially women - should be 'as vicious as they need to be' to protect their communities.

'OK this is for everyone in LA,' he said in the clip from this weekend, which has racked up 14.4 million views. 'If you survived the fire, congrats. This is round two. This is threat number two.
