Update at 1:50 pm EDT: The Daily Mail is updating here.
Firefighters are battling a massive blaze which broke out at the world-famous Notre Dame cathedral in Paris this evening.

According to French newspaper Le Monde, the fire broke out in the attic of the monument before spreading across the roof.

A spokesperson for the cathedral said the blaze was first reported at 5.50pm (GMT) and the building was evacuated soon after.

Officials in Paris said the fire could be linked to restoration works as the peak of the church is currently undergoing a 6 million-euro ($6.8 million) renovation project.
