The wildfires have devastated the Californian community, with 66 people losing their lives and 631 reported missing so far.
In addition, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state's history has taken people's homes, belongings and memories.
However, there are some lucky ones, and astounding new photos have shown that Anthony Hopkins is one of the incredibly lucky ones.
The Welsh actor's Malibu home survived the blaze - but only just, with his neighbour's house completely consumed by the flames.

In pictures released, it can be seen that, while his next-door neighbour's house is nothing but blackened remains, Hopkin's beachfront property has not been touched at all.

Many celebrities are among the people who have lost their houses, including Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Neil Young, Robin Thicke and Gerald Butler.
Hemsworth recently took to social media to share two haunting pictures of his home: one before the blaze hit and another after it had been burnt to the ground. In his caption, the Hollywood actor encouraged people to donate to the Malibu Foundation, set up to help rebuild the area following the traumatic Woolsey fire.
"It’s been a heartbreak... (truncated for brevity)"
His girlfriend Miley Cyrus also begged people to donate to the Malibu Foundation, claiming there was the "deepest sense of community" among those who had lost their homes.
