Bright, beautiful homes surrounded by green trees, lawns and pools are now reduced to desolate shells of their past selves. 

Fire officials say the so-called Woolsey fire is at 88 percent containment.

The blaze scorched more than 96,000 acres and burned more than 1,100 structures in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. 

There are still more than 1,800 firefighters battling the Woolsey fire as the fight to contain the towering flames entered its 11th day. 

The fire has spread due to dry brush and powerful winds from Santa Ana, affecting cities including Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Malibu. 

President Donald Trump initially blamed state officials for poor forest management in exacerbating the fires and threatened to cut off federal funding.

Trump has since signed an emergency declaration and toured the devastated areas on Saturday with Governor Jerry Brown and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom. 

Meanwhile the devastation of the Camp Fire in Northern California continued, with officials confirming 76 deaths and nearly 1,300 people unaccounted for.
