The fires in the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Pasadena areas have killed at least 27 since they broke out on January 8. Tens of thousands of people had to evacuate at the same time. Millions of dollars have already been donated to help people who lost their homes, including 2.5 million from the singer Beyoncé and 15 million from the Walt Disney Company.
