Wildfires devastate California.

Multiple wildfires have devastated parts of Los Angeles, California, burning nearly 40,000 acres and destroying entire neighborhoods. Over 150,000 people were evacuated, with 25 confirmed deaths and 23 missing individuals. The fires, fueled by extreme weather conditions and dry vegetation, are expected to be the costliest in US history, with losses estimated to exceed $135 billion.
