More than 30 original Elvis Presley film scripts and music sheets have been destroyed in the Malibu wildfires.

The documents were in Kashan Castle in California, which was one of the first buildings to burn down on Sunday.

Owner of the castle, Lilly Lawrence, told the New York Daily News: "Gone are 32 or 33 original movie scripts of Elvis. They were his personal scripts, with all his notes in the margins.

"All the music for 'Heartbreak Hotel' and 'American Trilogy', my favourite (are also gone). Untold things from Graceland. It's just devastating."

Presley's Nash Metropolitan car and his jacket were saved by firefighters.
