FIRE DESTROYS CALIFORNIA MANSIONS!

A wildfire has engulfed at least 70 homes in Montecito, an exclusive enclave near Santa Barbara, California, and forced some 2,500 people to flee.
The fire, which began on Thursday and was fanned by high winds, had spread to 800 acres (320 hectares) within hours.
Celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Rob Lowe, Michael Douglas and John Cleese are among Montecito's wealthy homeowners.
A local fire spokeswoman said more of the community's 10,000 residents could be evacuated if the fire spreads more.
Four people are reported to have suffered minor injuries as a result of the fire.
By early Friday the flames had reached the outskirts of nearby Santa Barbara city, where at least 20 homes were damaged, officials said.
Three helicopters were used to drop water on the flames overnight, in the face of gusts of up to 70mph.
Strong winds were expected again on Friday morning, which could hinder efforts to contain the fire.
Many of the homes at risk in Montecito, which has long been a hideaway for the rich and famous, are multi-million dollar mansions with ocean views.
Unseasonably hot weather and dry conditions mean southern California is at particular risk from wildfires at present.
A year ago, a series of wildfires in the region destroyed some 2,000 properties and forced half a million people to flee their homes.
