Wildfires in Los Angeles have gotten out of control, killing at least five people and forcing 130,000 others to evacuate their homes. The fires have burned for three days, destroying entire neighborhoods and causing serious damage to many important places.

One area that suffered a lot is Pacific Palisades, a wealthy neighborhood famous for being mentioned in the Beach Boys’ song “Surfin’ USA.” Here are some of the notable places affected by the fires:

Palisades Charter High School: About 30% of the school was damaged, especially the athletic facilities. Luckily, the school was on winter break, so its 3,000 students were safe.

Theater Palisades, Pierson Playhouse: This popular theater, started by three TV writers, was heavily damaged, and they had to stop all performances.

Will Rogers’ Ranch House: This historic home was once owned by famous actor Will Rogers and has now been destroyed. It was a popular state park known for its history and beauty.

Topanga Ranch Motel: Built in 1929, this motel was a favorite spot for visitors but was destroyed in the fire.

The Bunny Museum: Known for its collection of rabbit-themed items, this museum burned down completely. The staff sadly shared this news on Facebook.

Reel Inn Malibu: This seafood restaurant, famous for serving locals and celebrities, also lost its building to the flames after 36 years in business.

Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center: Thankfully, the Torah scrolls were saved before the historic synagogue caught fire.

The people present during the wildfire have lost much, and those affected are in our thoughts during this tough time.
