Los Angeles is known as the entertainment capital of the world, seen as the central depiction in music, television, movies, and pop culture, and is the home base of Hollywood.

As of January 14th, the Los Angeles wildfires have claimed the lives of at least 25 people. Over 150,000 residents have been evacuated, and numerous homes, structures, and businesses have been destroyed on more than 40,000 acres across California.
