Published Monday, Jun 2 2008, 09:41 BST | By Dave West
A large fire has broken out at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.
More than 100 firefighters were called to the blaze, which started at a sound stage in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Several buildings have suffered significant damage along with part of the Cyclone ride at the Universal theme park.
The fire spread across several buildings but was contained to a relatively small portion of the huge site.
A spokesman said the theme park was still open while Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards were also expected to go ahead at Universal.
The destroyed studios are thought to have been in recent use and to contain some New York street scenes.
