At least 24 people have died after fires ravaged most of Los Angeles this past week – and dangerous weather is expected to spread the flames further.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said eight of the recorded deaths were attributed to the Palisades fire and 16 were from the Eaton fire.

At least 16 people are still missing, with authorities saying the number is expected to rise.
