Dubai hotel Destroyed by fire.

A huge fire has broken out in a hotel in Dubai ahead of tonight's New Year's Eve celebrations.
Pictures have emerged on Twitter showing The Address Downtown Dubai hotel engulfed in flames.
The blaze began on the 20th floor hours before a large fireworks display was set to start from the nearby Burj Khalifa tower, the world's largest building.
Emergency services are on the scene.
It has been reported that one person has died and 14 people have been injured.
The flames can be seen reaching from the ground floor right to the top of the building.
The hotel tweeted: "A fire has been reported in the Address Downtown hotel.
"Authorities are currently on-site to address the incident swiftly and safely Dubai."
Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene.
The building that hosts the 5-star hotel is 302 metres tall.
