    The iconic Hollywood Sign, perched atop Mount Lee in Los Angeles, has become the focus of misinformation as wildfires rage across Southern California. Viral social media posts, often featuring AI-generated images, claim the sign is engulfed in flames, causing widespread concern. However, officials and live footage confirm the landmark remains safe, even as fires devastate the region.


    Is the Hollywood Sign on Fire?

    No, the Hollywood Sign is not on fire. Despite rumors circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the legendary sign has not been impacted by the wildfires. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) confirmed the Hollywood Sign is not in any evacuation zones and remains well outside the current fire perimeters.

    Jeff Zarrinnam, chair of the Hollywood Sign Trust, stated that social media claims suggesting the sign is ablaze are false, citing the use of AI-generated images and videos to spread misinformation.

    Fake Images Add to Panic

    The spread of fake images showing the Hollywood Sign on fire has fueled public anxiety. Popular X account Raw Alerts debunked these claims, sharing live screenshots from a dedicated Hollywood Sign webcam to prove the landmark is unharmed.

    🚨#BREAKING: The Hollywood sign is not on fire, even though a new fire has started. Numerous news accounts and other pages are sharing fake AI-generated images claiming otherwise. Here’s a current live picture of the Hollywood sign to set the record straight. pic.twitter.com/kiZrzl7kD9

    “Numerous accounts are sharing AI-generated images claiming the Hollywood Sign is on fire,” Raw Alerts posted, adding, “Here’s a current live picture of the Hollywood Sign to set the record straight.”


    Wildfires Across Southern California

    While the Hollywood Sign remains safe, wildfires are devastating other parts of Los Angeles County.

    • Palisades Fire: Began Tuesday morning and has burned over 17,000 acres between Santa Monica and Malibu.
    • Hurst Fire: Ignited near the San Fernando Valley, burning 850 acres.
    • Eaton Fire: Spread rapidly near Pasadena, torching 10,600 acres.

    In addition to these larger blazes, the Lidia Fire in Acton has consumed 340 acres but is now 40% contained.

    High winds, dry vegetation, and low humidity have created extreme fire conditions, prompting evacuation orders for over 150,000 residents and claiming at least five lives.

    Landmarks Impacted by Wildfires

    While the Hollywood Sign has escaped damage, other iconic locations have not been as fortunate:

    • Palisades Charter High School: Known from films like Teen Wolf and Carrie, has sustained serious damage.
    • Will Rogers State Historic Park: A 300-acre site once owned by actor Will Rogers has been significantly affected.
    • Topanga Ranch Motel: This historic site has also suffered damage from the fires.

    Stay Informed with Reliable Sources

    To monitor the Hollywood Sign’s status, visit the Hollywood Sign Trust’s official website, which offers a live webcam feed. Local authorities and fire departments continue to provide updates on evacuation orders and containment efforts.

    As social media spreads false claims, it’s crucial to rely on verified information and avoid unnecessary panic. For now, the Hollywood Sign stands tall, watching over Los Angeles, a beacon of hope in challenging times.
