A large fire is burning at the world-famous Universal Studios in Los Angeles, California. The blaze was reported before dawn on a sound stage at the film studios.
More than 100 city and county firefighters are helping studio staff tackle the flames, which have caused several explosions.
No injuries have been reported at the 230-acre site, which saw filming for King Kong and The War of the Worlds.
Helicopters have been dropping water on to the burning structures, and television pictures showed flames leaping into the air as a thick cloud of smoke covered the site.
Reports suggest the blaze has damaged Universal's New York street scene.
It is likely that there would have been a good deal of flammable material and props, as well as fuel supplies, on the site.
