After the discovery, at least 18 people are confirmed to have died in the Eaton fire that ripped through Altadena and Pasadena in January. At least 12 people died in the Palisades fire in the Pacific Palisades area and Santa Monica Mountains the same week.

The death toll from the devastating wildfires that tore through Los Angeles County earlier this year has climbed to 30 after human remains were discovered in Altadena, officials confirmed.
