As of Friday, Jan. 10, five fatalities have been confirmed, 29,000 acres have burned, over 10,000 structures have been destroyed, and several fires are still active, according to CalFire.

Since the fires began in the Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, experts have said the fires were fueled by strong winds and fed by dry vegetation. “It’s already January, but Southern California remains dry and reeling from drought and high temperatures,” Jacob Bendix, professor emeritus at Syracuse University, said in a statement, as previously reported.

“Both drought and heat are known to be more likely in the context of human-caused climate change, so the fires burning now cannot be dismissed as unusual events,” he added. “We must recognize that such fires are likely to occur more frequently in the future. The news will fade after a few days or weeks each time, but the impact in lost homes and jobs will last much longer for local residents, and virtually everyone in the area will likely face rising insurance costs or difficulty obtaining insurance at all.”

Several public figures have shared updates on social media amid the fires, including Ricki Lake, who wrote in a heartfelt Instagram caption that she had lost her “dream home.”

“This loss is immeasurable. It’s the place where we got married three years ago. “I mourn with all those who suffered during this apocalyptic event,” Lake wrote. “I pray for all my neighbors, my friends, my community, the animals, the firefighters and the first responders. More soon about how we escaped with Dolly and not much else. Right now I’m grieving. 💔💔💔”
