The LA Medical Examiner's Office released an update on the number of fatalities related to the fires.
So far there have been 11 deaths linked to the Eaton fire and five from the Palisades fire, bringing the death toll to at least 16, with officials saying that number is likely to rise.
They add that it could take several weeks to identify victims, as traditional methods – such as fingerprinting and visual identification – may not be possible.
