After 24 days of burning, his entire life looked different. Between tours, the famed DJ and dance music producer, born Ryan Raddon, spent the majority of his time at Palisades hot spots like the Village. Now he frequents Santa Monica and Brentwood by force. Of the 30 families in his church, only four of their houses remain standing, including his. Unfortunately, his brother's house was lost to the fires.

The Los Angeles Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, a five-member committee that adjudicates public nuisance cases, voted that the fire debris at the eight properties - a mix of luxury estates, multifamily apartments and businesses - constituted a public nuisance and could pose a risk to public health and safety. City officials alleged the owners of these properties failed to meet the Oct. 2 deadline to clear hazardous fire debris.

But he said he didn't trust the municipal government to run the beloved rec center and reminded the crowd that the city, which is navigating the complex recovery from one of the costliest and most destructive fire in its history, is "a billion dollars in debt." "What are they going to do with this brand new facility when [philanthropists] turn the keys over to them?" he asked. "Do we trust them?"

Authorities in California have made an arrest in connection with the deadly January wildfire that erupted into the most destructive blaze in Los Angeles history and destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to publicly discuss the case. Federal officials and Los Angeles police said earlier Wednesday that they are about to announce a significant development related to the criminal investigation into the fire.

Her mom, Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn, bought the place when Hudson was young. "My very, very foundational memories were in that house, with my grandma, my grandpa, all of my mom's aunts and uncles, Kurt [Russell]-my pa's-parents," the actor tells AD, ruminating on poolside hangouts and sunny days spent lying on the bricks of the backyard as a little girl. "When I walked back into that house, I just had this overwhelming wave of nostalgia."

I grew up moving, so often that I sometimes lost count: New Jersey, Ohio, London, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Hong Kong by the time I was eighteen. When I left New York to join my soon-to-be husband, Billy, in Los Angeles, at the beginning of 2005, it occurred to me that I had never lived anywhere longer than seven years.

The reopening of the Pacific Coast Highway will reconnect Malibu to the Westside, but security plans for the fire-damaged Pacific Palisades community remain unclear.

We just don't have the finances, and I'm not sure we can keep our lot because you still have to pay a mortgage on it.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath confirmed the inclusion of the fire-ravaged Tahitian Terrace in a federal debris removal program, reassuring residents of progress in rebuilding.

Investigators hope the controlled fire tests will help establish the origin and ignition point of the deadly Palisades fire, which devastated the area.
