Los Angeles, United States: A wind-fanned wildfire quickly spread early on Tuesday in Malibu, where many Hollywood elites reside in the western US state of California, threatening buildings and prompting evacuations, local officials said.
The Franklin Fire broke out on Monday evening and in just hours had rapidly burned through more than 1,800 acres (730 hectares) in the coastal city, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE).
Many celebrities and Hollywood executives own multi-million dollar homes on the coastline, one of the most desirable areas in Southern California.
Pepperdine University said it had canceled classes and final exams for Tuesday as emergency personnel rushed to contain the blaze.
Billowing smoke and burning trees could be seen just outside a library where students wearing protective masks were sheltering, videos posted online and broadcast by local media showed.
