Governor Gavin Newsom stated that Los Angeles County is experiencing one of the most devastating fire disasters in its history. Residents are leaving their neighborhoods, even if evacuation orders have not been issued for them; many are without power, and others have been forced to leave their homes. Seeing the rapid and extensive destruction caused by the fire in Palisades, residents of other cities are preparing for several more difficult days as the winds pick up again. Even a few celebrities have lost their homes in exclusive areas such as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, Pasadena, and others. As American viewers watch the destruction, many wonder how many buildings, especially homes, have burned in the City of Angels.
As of Sunday, January 12, 2025, according to Cal Fire, three major fires are still burning: the Palisades fire, the Eaton fire, and the Hearst fire. The Palisades fire, which started almost a week ago, is the most dangerous fire currently raging in Los Angeles County. Furthermore, additional evacuations have been announced as the winds intensify. The Eaton fire, which destroyed parts of Altadena and Pasadena, remains active.
Below is the status of extinguishing each major fire that has erupted in Los Angeles County, according to Cal Fire data.
Local authorities are still unable to determine the number of homes that have burned down. According to PBS, as of January 9, 2025, at least 2000 buildings throughout Los Angeles County were destroyed.
A large number of celebrities have lost their homes in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, and other areas of Los Angeles. Among the stars who openly talked about their losses were Mandy Moore (Altadena) and Paris Hilton (Malibu).
Paris shared on Instagram that her Malibu home was completely destroyed. While she mourned the loss of her home, the reality TV star and heiress acknowledged how grateful she was that her family was safe and thanked the firefighters for their brave efforts. However, the most traumatic part was that Paris and her family watched their home burn down live.
As for Mandy, the actress wrote on Instagram that her home in Altadena is «still standing», - although it is «uninhabitable» at the moment, and she grieves with her friends, neighbors, and family who «lost everything» in the fires.
«I feel strange survivor’s guilt», - Mandy wrote, adding: «We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thank you all for checking in on us and offering help. Altadena is strong»
