Kelly Lauren is one of thousands whose entire lives went up in flames in the Southern California wildfires. "I lost all my writing, like all my books … everything I've written my whole life," she tells KCBS. Homes of celebrities including Billy Crystal, Adam Brody, and Paris Hilton are also gone. At least five people have died, according to authorities. The fire is still zero percent contained and has spread to nearly 11,000 acres.
