One of the "Super Scooper" planes aiding in the battle against the Los Angeles wildfires was damaged on Thursday after colliding with a drone, and is now grounded, officials said on Thursday. The collision occurred Thursday afternoon over the Palisades Fire as the Canadair CL-415 aircraft was dumping water onto the blaze.

A firefighting aircraft struck a drone while operating over the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA stated that the aircraft landed safely and that they would be investigating the incident.

Out-of-control wildfires are ripping across parts of Los Angeles, leading to at least five deaths, burning down hundreds of buildings, and prompting more than 130,000 people to flee their homes in America's second-largest city.

Mandy Moore, Anna Faris, Milo Ventimiglia, Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges, Bozoma Saint John, Mel Gibson, Billy Crystal, James Woods and Diane Warren are among the celebrities whose houses were destroyed by the blazes.
