LA County's fire chief says strong winds forecast in Los Angeles mean the threat of fire remains 'very high.'

LA Sheriff Robert Luna says three people have been found dead in a search and rescue operation, as at least 16 people have been killed so far.

Luna says looters arrested in the fire-hit areas are not locals and "have zero business" being there.

LA Mayor Karen Bass is "confident" Donald Trump will visit the fire-hit areas, despite the president-elect earlier calling politicians in California "incompetent" over their handling of the fires.
