Destruction caused by LA wildfires

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the death toll from the wildfires ravaging the area has risen to 16. Since the fires first began last week just north of downtown Los Angeles, they have burned more than 12,000 structures, a term that includes homes, apartment buildings, businesses, outbuildings, and vehicles. No cause has been determined for the largest fires, and early estimates indicate the wildfires could be the nation's costliest ever.

Several high-profile celebs, including Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Anthony Hopkins, have lost their homes in the wildfires.

Meanwhile, this will be J-hope's first tour after fulfilling his military service. The ARMY is looking forward to yet another experience of a lifetime.
