At least five people are dead and many more injured as several fires broke out across Southern California amid historically dry and windy conditions.

The most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history Thursday have burned more than 27,000 acres, destroyed 1,000 structures, killed five people and upended the lives of tens of thousands of people forced to flee.

Multiple wildfires, including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, are raging across Southern California Friday, leaving at least 10 dead and burning more than 10,000 homes across 27,000 acres, officials say.

Around 4:15 p.m., another alert was sent out by the the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management asking residents to disregard the previous alert, as it was only intended for the Kenneth fire, which erupted near West Hills bordering Los Angeles and Ventura counties earlier in the afternoon.

A wireless emergency evacuation alert was sent to residents across Los Angeles County on Thursday afternoon. However, it was meant for people in the order and warning zones for the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.

While the message was intended for residents of Woodland Hills, officials say the registration location of the phones might have caused a wider distribution.
