<h1>Los Angeles Wildfires Could Be Among Costliest Disasters in US History, Damages Estimated Up to $150 Billion.</h1> The wildfires in Los Angeles County are projected to be among the costliest natural disasters in US history, with early estimates suggesting damages between USD 135 billion and USD 150 billion. The fires have resulted in at least 11 deaths and the destruction of over 12,000 structures, including high-value properties in areas like Pacific Palisades and Malibu.
