Among the most damaging fires in US history: Burned area in Los Angeles larger
Los Angeles fires

The total area burned by the fires in Palisades, Eaton and Hurst is approximately 38,629 acres as of 2:30 a.m. That's roughly equivalent to 60 square miles, according to figures released by Cal Fire.

The city of Paris is 40 square miles, meaning the fires have burned a larger area of ​​land than the capital of France.

According to the data, the Palisades fire alone is approximately 37 square miles (23,713 hectares), making it close to the size of Paris.

Meanwhile, the number of victims from the fire that is burning Los Angeles has so far reached 24.

Firefighters raced against time to bring the active fires under control, taking advantage of the easing of the wind, but authorities predict worsening conditions in the coming days.

The governor of Los Angeles said this could be the worst natural disaster in American history.

The devastating fires are expected to result in historic damage and costs, destroying buildings and infrastructure, while also damaging numerous businesses.

Thousands of homes have been reduced to ashes in California, where the median home price is around $780,000 and around $3 million in the Palisades neighborhood, one of the neighborhoods hit by the fires that broke out on January 7.

Last week, AccuWeather estimated that damages and economic losses are between $135 billion and $150 billion.

"This massive, fast-moving, wind-driven fire has created one of the costliest wildfire disasters in modern U.S. history," said Jonathan Porter, AccuWeather's chief meteorologist.

"Hurricane-sized winds sent flames through neighborhoods filled with multimillion-dollar homes," he added.

Porter called the scenes of destruction "heartbreaking," adding that the economic damage is staggering.

"To put this into perspective, the total damage and economic loss from this wildfire disaster could reach nearly 4 percent of the annual GDP of the state of California," he noted.
