Out-of-control wildfires in Los Angeles have led to at least five deaths and forced over 137,000 people to evacuate. Key fires like the Palisades and Eaton remain uncontained, while over 2,000 structures, including homes and businesses, have been destroyed. The situation is worsened by climate change and high winds, with firefighting efforts hampered by dry conditions. Celebrities such as Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, and Paris Hilton have lost homes, raising concerns of unprecedented insured losses. Political discussions arise regarding the city’s preparedness as the fires continue to spread.
