IN PHOTOS | Los Angeles-area landmarks before and after the wildfires

The California wildfires ripping through the Los Angeles area have killed at least 10 people, devoured over 10,000 structures and triggered evacuation orders affecting 180,000 people.

Here's a look at some of the landmarks before and after the wildfires, which include the two biggest ones, the Palisades Fire in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in Los Angeles, and the Eaton Fire in the Altadena section of Pasadena, Calif.

The Eaton Fire, which started Tuesday evening, has grown to about 5,476 hectares, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). And it has destroyed over 5,000 structures, such as homes, apartment buildings, businesses, outbuildings and vehicles.

Among the many structures was the Altadena Community Church, founded in 1940, and destroyed by the wildfire in downtown Altadena on Wednesday.

"To all the faith communities, including Pasadena Jewish Center and St. Mark's Episcopal across the street who also lost their buildings, we send our love and condolences and always our prayers," the church posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday.

Open for 26 years, the Bunny Museum, which said it's the world's only museum about everything bunny, burned down on Wednesday. "Saved only a few bunny items. Saved the cats and bunnies," the museum wrote in a post on its Facebook page, adding it was the last of the buildings around it to burn.
