In a new interview, "Love Story" star Ali MacGraw recalls losing everything in the 1993 Malibu fire and details the emotional moment she knew she had to flee Los Angeles.

Two wildfires still burning in Los Angeles have torched more urban area than any other fire in the state since at least the mid-1980s.

Tuesday, 2:10 p.m. PST Cal Fire says the Auto Fire, which broke out Monday in Ventura County, is 25% contained several hours after fire crews stopped forward progress on the 56-acre blaze.

Twenty-seven people have died across the Los Angeles area. Officials have said the true death toll isn’t known as the fires continue to burn.

Three wildfires continue to burn in the Los Angeles region, according to Cal Fire. The Palisades and Eaton fires have scorched nearly 40,000 acres, destroying thousands of homes and forcing tens of thousands of evacuations. The fires are 31% and 65% contained, respectively, but authorities said earlier this week that the blazes had little growth.

A home burning down due to a wildfire will generally be covered up to the insured amount minus depreciation under dwelling coverage, belongings will be covered under personal property coverage, and the cost of relocating temporarily may be covered by loss of use coverage, he adds.

The wildfires that destroyed homes in multiple sections of the Los Angeles area will test California’s efforts to stabilize the state’s insurance marketplace after many insurers stopped issuing residential policies due to the high fire risk.

I have friends who lost houses. I have family who were burned out of their home. Los Angeles has lost churches, synagogues, and architecture that are part of our collective history—not just architectural gems, but civic hubs and touchstones for communal memory.

Malibu's serene beauty before the wildfires included stunning coastlines and celebrity havens. Here's what the community looked like before the devastation.
