Here is a stunning aerial view of Pacific Palisades, with a focus on the iconic Riviera Country Club area, before the recent fires. The drone provides a sweeping view of the lush green fairways, stately homes, and winding streets that characterize this affluent neighborhood. You'll see the surrounding landscape, including the Pacific Ocean in the distance, offering a tranquil glimpse of the area in its pristine state. The video highlights the rich natural scenery, the architectural elegance of the homes, and the sprawling grounds of the country club, all bathed in the warm, golden California sunlight. This peaceful imagery serves as a poignant reminder of the area’s beauty before the devastation caused by the fire.
Fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, a series of ferocious wildfires erupted in the beginning of January 2025 and roared across the Los Angeles area, killing at least 27 people, including some who died trying to prevent the fires from engulfing their homes, and destroying thousands of structures.
The Palisades Fire erupted the morning of Jan. 7 in Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles neighborhood east of Malibu, as a brush fire. The blaze, which had grown to 23,713 acres and likely damaged or destroyed 5,316 structures.
The Eaton Fire ignited hours after the Palisades Fire near a canyon in the sprawling national forest lands north of downtown Los Angeles. It had exploded to 14,117 acres and more than 7,800 structures were likely damaged or destroyed in the blaze.
The combination of drought-like conditions - Southern California has had less than 10% of average rainfall since Oct. 1, 2024 - and powerful offshore winds that hit the region in the beginning of January prompted fire weather.
At one point there were close to 200,000 people under evacuation orders as crews tried to battle back the fires. By Tuesday morning the number had dwindled to around 88,000 with another 84,800 in evacuation warning zones throughout Los Angeles County.
The fires have destroyed entire neighborhoods and blocks, leaving an unknown number of people homeless.
The insured losses from last week’s fires may exceed 20 billion dollars, and total economic losses could reach 50 billion dollars, according to estimates published by JPMorgan.
