As wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles County, the death toll may rise further. Authorities have confirmed that at least 10 people have died in the fires, but officials warn that the actual toll could be higher once it’s safe to access affected areas. Thousands of homes and structures have been destroyed by the Palisades and Eaton Fires, which have become two of the most destructive wildfires in the region's history.
