The Los Angeles wildfires have devastated portions of the city and surrounding areas.
The Palisades fire, which started on January 7, has left more than 17,000 acres burning unchecked. In total, wildfires have burned over 27,000 acres.
Over 100,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate, and many more — including celebrities — have lost their homes.
Here's how the fires have impacted some of the most famous landmarks in Los Angeles.
The observatory's telescopes were rendered useless due to thick clouds of smoke.
The Griffith Observatory wrote on Instagram on Wednesday that it will be closed until further notice due to the current weather and fire conditions.
The Hollywood sign, visible from the Griffith Observatory, is the most famous landmark in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood sign has been featured in countless TV shows and movies over the years as the most iconic location in the city.
As fires blazed across the city, the normally blue skies turned gray with smoke and ash.
As of Thursday, the sign was not located in an evacuation warning area, but the site is closed due to damage from surrounding fires.
After false images of the sign burning began to circulate on social media, the Hollywood Sign clarified in a Facebook post that it "continues to stand tall!"
