New photos have showed more of the devastating destruction at Paramount Ranch, which lost nearly 100 years of Hollywood history after the Woolsey Fire tore through it over the weekend.
The famous Western town had been seen on everything from HBO's Westworld to films including American Sniper and The Lake House.
Its ground had been walked on by dozens of Old Hollywood legends, from Bob Hope and Cary Grant to Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich, and was used to film a total of 214 films and 142 television shows.
But now almost all that remains of Paramount Ranch is rubble and ash after it was engulfed by the Woolsey Fire, which has killed three people and scorched 98,362 acres since it first ignited last week.

The famous Western town had been seen on everything from HBO's Westworld (pictured) to films including American Sniper and The Lake House. Now all that stands from the Westworld set is a church that has been featured on the series
It remains only 57 percent contained as of Thursday morning.
Paramount Ranch, a 2,700-acre property in the Santa Monica Mountains, had once included a jail, hotel, and saloon on its set.
It was frequently used for Main Street scenes in season one and two of Westworld, which was not in production at the time of the fire. Now one of the few buildings that still stands is a church that has been featured in the series.
The ranch was part of the Santa Monica Mountain National Recreational Area, which has seen more than 83 percent of its National Park Service land burned in the fire.

Officials said the destruction of the set is a loss to Los Angeles' storied Hollywood history as it was the only National Park Service site to interpret American film history
Most of the set (pictured on Friday) was completely decimated on Friday by the fire, which also burned down a number of celebrities' houses in Malibu
Officials said the destruction of the set is a loss to Los Angeles' storied Hollywood history.
'It's so special to share the story of movie making that came out of Southern California,' spokeswoman Kate Kuykendall told the Associated Press.
'We're the only National Park Service site that interprets American film history.'
Paramount Pictures first purchased the property in 1927, where it was used for early Hollywood studio films like The Lone Rider and Shanghai Express.
Paramount Ranch's Western Town (pictured before and after the fire) was built in 1953, when the area was purchased by entrepreneur William Hertz, who was an 'ardent fan of movie westerns
Hertz brought the ranch - first purchased by Paramount Pictures in 1927 - back to life using Paramount's old prop storage sets, but was forced to sell it two years later after falling ill
The set was used for a number of Hollywood films. Pictured left are Richard Arlen and Mary Brian on the set of Gun Smoke. Pictured right are Lee Majors and Heather Thomas on the set of The Fall Guy in 1981
For five years Paramount Ranch would become the main set for the television show Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman (pictured)
The ranch was also used in the Lake House (pictured with Keanu Reeves) as well as iconic American flicks like Scream
Paramount Ranch was brought back to its original glory after it was purchased by the National Park Service in 1980
Before its iconic Western Town was built, Paramount Ranch was transformed to resemble everything from ancient China - for Gary Cooper's film The Adventures of Marco Polo - to the colonial town of Salem, Massachusetts.
The Western Town was built in 1953, when the area was purchased by entrepreneur and aspiring cowboy William Hertz, who was an 'ardent fan of movie westerns', according to the National Park Service.
Hertz brought the ranch - which had been sold by Paramount years prior - back to life using the studio's old prop storage sets, but was forced to sell it two years later after falling ill.
It then temporarily became the Paramount Raceway after it was purchased by an autoracing company, but the track - which featured in the 1957 film The Devil's Hairpin - was forced to shut after two fatal crashes.
While much of the track can still be seen winding through the park, Paramount Ranch was brought back to its original Hollywood glory after it was purchased by the National Park Service in 1980.
Now little remains standing at Paramount Ranch, seen here on Saturday after it was consumed by the Woolsey Fire

The park used black-and-white photos from the 1950s to help restore the former sets, even receiving help from Hertz's son Robert.
For five years it would become the main set for the television show Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman and would later feature on episodes of everything from The Mentalist and Weeds to Sons of Anarchy, The Bachelor, and The OC.
Several other filming locations near Paramount Ranch were destroyed by the Woolsey Fire, including the Morrison Ranch House - which had been used for classic films including Of Mice And Men and The Durango Kid.
The Peter Strauss Ranch, where Johnny Ranch and Willie Nelson used to perform in the 1950s, were also razed.
A number of celebrities have also lost their homes after the Woolsey Fire tore through Malibu, including Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Neil Young, and Camille Grammer of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
