Celebrity enclaves in the Hollywood Hills and Pacific Palisades have been turned to ash in what officials say are the most destructive fires in the city’s history.

A-listers like Paris Hilton, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Anthony Hopkins, and Billy Crystal have seen their homes reduced to smouldering rubble.

The cameras have stopped rolling on shows Disney-produced shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Doctor Odyssey and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

CBS bosses have also shut down production on NCIS, including it’s spin-off NCIS: Origins as well as After Midnight, Poppas House and The Neighborhood.

Filming was due to restart on season two of Fallout, but Amazon have now postponed shooting.

NBCUniversal have also halted work on Hacks, Suits LA, Loot and Happy’s Place.

FilmLA – the agency that permits filming in Los Angeles, said: “The LA County Fire Department has specifically instructed that all permits issued for filming in the communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and unincorporated Pasadena are withdrawn.

“Other permit revocations are possible.”

While none of the studios are directly impacted or in the path of the fires, the toxic air emitted from the blazes is a risk to health.

Donald Trump and LA locals have referred to the fires as “apocalyptic” with black smoke blocking out the sky and glowing red embers blowing across the city.

The Palisades fire is the most destructive in Los Angeles’s history and has burned more than 17,000 acres, according to Cal Fire.

Most of those blazes started Tuesday, but new fires continue to start with a blaze in Studio City being extinguished.
