At least 10 people have been killed in the fires.
A night-time curfew has been imposed in areas impacted by the devastating wildfires blazing across Los Angeles.
The rule will be in effect in the Pacific Palisades and Eaton Fire areas as police warn that anyone involved in "despicable" looting will be arrested.
At least 10 people have been killed in the fires so far and it's estimated 10,000 homes and other structures have been destroyed.
A forecast for more strong winds is raising fears that the blazes could spread further and a red flag warning - indicating critical fire conditions - is in place.
President Joe Biden, accompanied by Vice President Kamala Harris, delivered a briefing on the federal response to the wildfires Friday afternoon.
Speaking to the media, he said the fires in Los Angeles are "truly unprecedented".
There has been some progress in the last 24 hours, he said.
Overnight, local state and federal firefighters were "able to partially prevent" some of the fires spreading, Biden added, but winds will remain a threat until early next week.
"We're gonna make sure California has every possible resource to fight this fire, and survive it," Biden said.
Vice President Kamala Harris said the country was witnessing "mass devastation".
This devastation is "multi-generational and is going to linger for quite some time," the vice president said.
"There are moments where we should find optimism in the heroism of people," she added.
