Former Arsenal forward Carlos Vela has become the latest star to suffer at the hands of the devastating wildfires ripping through Los Angeles.

Vela's wife revealed on Thursday that their $4million (£3.3m) 5,121-square-foot Malibu home burned down in flames that have wrecked havoc in the affluent LA suburb of Palisades.

On the morning of January 7, severe droughts and winds of up to 100 miles per hour whipped up wildfires. Since then, the infernos have killed at least ten people, destroyed thousands of homes, and forced over 130,000 residents to evacuate.
