Here are 50 pictures that are supposedly photos of the LA fires. None of these look real to me. I haven't fully checked out all of them yet, but at least half are clearly CGI generated images and not authentic photos. If you have reason to believe any of these are for real, let me know which ones and I'll have another look at them. (Please reply to the email address at the bottom of this page)
Many of the faults in these "photos" are very obvious, for example, in the image above, the burned out ute is missing it's right front wheel, right front quarter panel, bumpers, and front grill, and there are many other inconsistencies.
There are very few realistic photos online and almost every picture I've found using either
Duckduckgo or Yandex search engines looks to be clearly fake. The
few that look real do not show massive destruction, but much smaller
scale fires.
This photo of the iconic Hollywood sign is a typical example. The actual fire was not close to the Hollywood sign at all. All the images of the Hollywood sign being engulfed by fire have been thoroughly discredited:
These images all look totally dodgy to me. One reoccurring fake aspect is that everything is spotlessly clean, with no ash or smoke damage. Another is all the pictures of strangely burned cars, with randomly missing components. Click on any of the images to see them full size:
