Miley Cyrus and Gerard Butler amongst those to lose homes in California wildfires

More than 300,000 people have been forced to flea their homes in California as the state's deadliest ever wildfires continue to destroy property, lives and businesses across the region.

So far 42 people have been killed and 228 are missing as firefighters battle Camp Fire in the north of California, the BBC reports. The flames virtually flattened the town of Paradise with more than 200 residents unaccounted for since Thursday.

Gerard Butler, Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke are among those who lost their homes in another wildfire over the weekend.

Woolsey fire tore through Malibu and other areas north of Los Angeles in Southern California. Two people were killed. A smaller fire in the Hill area also scorched 4,530 acres.

As President Trump declared the wildfires a 'major disaster', offering federal aid to those affected, many celebrity victims have been paying tribute to the bravery of the firefighters on the front line.
