O número de mortos nos incêndios que tomaram Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, subiu para 16, segundo o Gabinete do Examinador Médico da cidade. Cinco ocorreram no fogo que tomou conta da localidade de Palisades e 11 no incêndio de Eaton.
O levantamento divulgado anteriormente dava conta apenas das 11 mortes. A expectativa é que o número volte a aumentar conforme o trabalho das equipes avance.
Pelo menos duas das vítimas morreram enquanto tentavam proteger suas casas, enquanto outra ficou para trás com seu filho, que tinha paralisia cerebral e não conseguiu se retirar.

Os incêndios atuais também são o desastre natural mais devastador a atingir Los Angeles desde o terremoto de Northridge, em 1994, quando 57 pessoas morreram — e provavelmente estarão entre os desastres naturais mais caros da História moderna americana.
A AccuWeather Inc. estima que as perdas diretas e secundárias, que incluem destruição não segurada e impacto econômico indireto, como perda de salários e interrupções na cadeia de suprimentos, podem chegar a entre US$ 135 bilhões e US$ 150 bilhões (R$ 822 bilhões e R$ 931 bilhões).
