The new blaze lit up near Runyon Canyon, which is in the vicinity of iconic Los Angeles locations and tourist destinations. No homes were said to be damaged.

The LAFD lifted the evacuation order for Hollywood Hills West at 07:30 local time (15:30 GMT) on Thursday. The first blaze began on Tuesday in the city's Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, near Malibu, with others subsequently breaking out across the north of the city.

Fire officials say the flames consumed about 43 acres of land before their aggressive attack stopped forward progress.
