The Los Angeles wildfires continue to burn across Southern California and a number of television shows have halted production until further notice.

As of Wednesday, Jan. 8, two people have died in the Eaton Fire, L.A. County Fire Department chief Anthony C. Marrone announced, per CBS News and NBC News. According to CalFire, five separate wildfires are burning in the Los Angeles area and more than 30,000 residents had been evacuated from the Pacific Palisades and neighboring areas by the afternoon of Jan. 7.

In addition to school closures and evacuation orders, Hollywood is also pressing pause until the wildfires are under control.
