The death toll from a wildfire in Northern California has risen by six to 29, matching the deadliest in state history. Wildfires continue to rage on both ends of the state, with gusty winds expected overnight which will challenge firefighters. The statewide death toll stood at 31 and appeared certain to rise. Gerard Butler said on Instagram that his Malibu home was ‘half-gone’ (Picture: Gerard Butler) Camille Grammer Meyer from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills posted this picture of her home as it was swallowed by flames (Picture: Camille Grammer Meyer/Instagram) The remains of a fire-damaged home are seen off Kanan Dume Road, a canyon road which cuts across the mountains to Malibu (Picture: AFP) The so-called Camp fire that ravaged a swath of Northern California was the deadliest. A total of 29 bodies have been found so far from that fire, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea told a news briefing on Sunday evening. Nearly 230 people were still unaccounted for, he said. At least five search teams were working in Paradise – a town of 27,000 that was largely incinerated on Thursday – and in surrounding communities. Authorities called in a mobile DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify victims of the most destructive wildfire in California’s history.

People looking for friends or relatives called evacuation centres, hospitals, police and the coroner’s office. Barack Obama has said he and wife Michelle are ‘heartbroken for everybody who’s lost so much in California’. The former president added on Twitter: ‘(We are) grateful for the heroism of the firefighters who’ve been risking their lives around the clock to save others.’ Officials and relatives held out hope that many of those unaccounted for were safe and simply had no mobile phones or other ways to contact loved ones.

Governor Jerry Brown said California is requesting aid from Donald Trump’s administration. The president has blamed ‘poor’ forest management for the fires. Mr Brown told a press briefing that federal and state governments must do more forest management, but said that was not the source of the problem. ‘Managing all the forests in everywhere we can does not stop climate change,’ Mr Brown said. ‘And those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies that we’re now witnessing, and will continue to witness in the coming years.’ Wildfires continue to rage on both ends of the state, with gusty winds expected overnight which will challenge firefighters (Picture: AP) Authorities called in a mobile DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify victims of the most destructive wildfire in California history (Picture: Getty)
