A restaurant, behind a row of barrels, burns during the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles on Jan. 7, 2025 — A restaurant burns during the Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on Jan. 7, 2025. A fast-moving wildfire ripped through the affluent neighborhood, forcing thousands of people to evacuate as the region braced for a brutal wind storm that could last well into the weekend.

The Los Angeles' Palisades and Eaton wildfires are now fully contained as of the end of January, and CoreLogic estimates initial property losses between $35 billion and $45 billion.

According to CoreLogic data, more than 23,000 acres burned in the Palisades, 14,000 burned acres in Eaton and just over 10,000 acres were impacted in Hughes. The Palisades fire impacted 8,696 properties within the major fire perimeters, and the Eaton fire impacted 7,940 properties.
