Fires continue to rage in Los Angeles, with attention turning to forecaster warnings of an uptick in high winds from Sunday night.

Authorities say they are prepared for the impending wind event, which will put the whole of LA County under fire threat.

At least 16 people have been killed as a result of the blazes so far, with rescue crews now prioritising the recovery of remains in areas where it is safe to return to.

Earlier today, fresh fires started to flare up in the rugged terrain of Angeles National Forest, but crews were successful in stopping the flames from spreading.

That's not the only progress firefighters made today, they've contained the Kenneth Fire completely and the Hurst Fire is almost fully contained - but two fires continue to rage.

The Palisades and Eaton Fires are continuing to burn as 105,000 people have been placed under evacuation orders. For evacuees who are unsure whether their homes have been spared by the inferno, they are eagerly awaiting the announcement that it's safe for them to return home - whatever that may look like.

In the wider conversation, LA Mayor Karen Bass is "confident" that President-elect Donald Trump will visit the fire-hit areas, despite his earlier criticism of Democratic politicians in California, who he has called "incompetent" over their handling of the fires.

We're ending our live coverage for today, but our colleagues in the newsroom will be keeping this article updated with the latest from the LA wildfires.
