Photos show the Pacific Palisades one year after the Los Angeles wildfires, from empty lots to rebuilt storefronts

In January 2025, the Palisades and Eaton fires burned 38,000 acres across Southern California.

Over 16,000 homes and businesses were destroyed as windstorms propelled the flames, according to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. At least 31 people died in the fires.

One year later, some of the damaged areas have been rebuilt and repaired, while others remain scorched shells.

Here’s what the Pacific Palisades looks like one year after the devastating fires.
