Meanwhile, stars like Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester and Billy Crystal lost their homes in the wildfires, which raged in Pacific Palisades, Eaton Canyon, Malibu, the Hollywood Hills and other areas around Los Angeles County amid a wind storm that “threatened Life and Devastation” broke out last week.
As of Wednesday, at least 25 people have died in Southern California wildfires. Meanwhile, more than 105,000 people received mandatory evacuation orders. Since the fires broke out, officers have arrested 44 people across the affected areas, including for arson, burglary, breaching the curfew and other violations.
President Joe Biden, who extended his trip to Los Angeles last week to visit first responders and those affected, declared the fires a major disaster and directed the federal government to cover 100% of disaster assistance costs.
