Multiple severe wildfires are raging near Los Angeles, particularly in the Pacific Palisades, leading to the evacuation of at least 30,000 people and a state of emergency declared by Governor Gavin Newsom. The fires have destroyed numerous buildings and are exacerbated by strong Santa Ana winds, complicating firefighting efforts. Many celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Jennifer Aniston, reside in the area, and significant media events have been canceled due to the crisis. The Getty Villa Museum has also closed as a precaution.
