NEW: Drone footage shows the devastating aftermath of the LA fires which have destroyed thousands of homes.

Firefighters have made “big gains” fighting the Sunset Fire in Hollywood, stopping the fire from burning any homes, according to the LA Times.
“It’s a miracle that no homes burned here,” a firefighter said.
