Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people. The Palisades and Eaton fires continue to burn in Southern California.
The massive Palisades Fire broke out in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, prompting mandatory evacuations affecting tens of thousands of people and highway closures. Later Tuesday, the Eaton Fire broke out in the foothills of Pasadena on the other side of Los Angeles County.
At least five people have lost their lives, California Governor Gavin Newsom said, as multiple wind-driven wildfires across Los Angeles County remain largely uncontained. The latest blaze, the Sunset fire in the Hollywood Hills, has prompted evacuation orders in the area.
