The fires which hit the Pacific Palisades which is home to many Hollywood A-listers were reportedly labelled as one of the most destructive wildfires in the history of Los Angeles. The ravaging fires have claimed 11 lives as of Friday, January 10, as reported by the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner (DME).
Between the Eaton fire and the Palisades fire which took place in Pasadena, 10,000 structures have turned to ashes including homes and offices, as told by officials, per CNN.
Several people have lost their homes to the crisis including celebrities like Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes Cameron Mathison and many more.
