Avery told : "Stuff like their clothes, their makeup, [what they used for] their hair, it's all gone.

"They don't have any of that anymore."

California Fire confirmed this week the Eaton fire in the eastern suburb of Altadena is now the most destructive and deadly wildfire in Southern California’s history.

It has killed 17 people, burned over 14,000 acres and destroyed 7,000 buildings and other structures. 

Meanwhile, cops have arrested four people in Los Angeles on suspicion of trying to start new fires.

Firefighters continue to work around-the-clock to battle blazes that have now killed 25.

The four suspects were arrested for separate incidents across the city, the LAPD announced on Tuesday. 

One alleged arsonist was charged with three counts and is facing nine years in jail. 

Jose Gerardo Escobar was arrested on Friday accused of intentionally trying to start a fire in the eastern suburb of Azusa. 

Another suspect was arrested after allegedly using a barbecue lighter to start fires in North Hollywood on Sunday night. 

A third arrest was made on Monday afternoon in the northern suburb of Van Nuys when a suspect lit a brush on fire. 

The fourth person was arrested in West LA after trying to light a bin on fire. 

Meanwhile, the death toll from the fires which started on January 7 rose again from 24 to 25, the LA County Medical Examiner said. 

Authorities expect the number of fatalities to continue increasing. 

There are currently over six million people under critical fire threat across Southern California.

Some 85,000 are poised to evacuate under new orders as severe winds could fan flames.

Meanwhile, the Pacific Palisades fire which has decimated one of LA’s ritziest neighbourhoods is the second most destructive ever in the region.
