How to help the victims of the fire in Los Angeles

The wildfires in LA started in the Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, January 7th. They are said to be some of the most destructive in the history of Los Angeles.

As many as 10,000 structures, including homes and offices, were destroyed between the Palisades and Eaton fires, which broke out in Pasadena, according to officials, according to CNN.

The fires displaced more than 80,000 people, including celebrities such as Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes and Cameron Mathison, among others.

As of Friday, January 10, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s Office (DME) reported that there were 11 deaths in the fire they were investigating.
