I dont know why but since I was a kid Ive always felt a very strong emotional attachment to the USA, especially the west coast. I visited USA in August last year for the first time and at age 41 I was in awe seeing all those beautiful landscapes and a few cities. I did have a chance to see LA from the hill where the Griffiph observatory is located and thanks to a huge traffic on the highway due to an accident my GPS told me to drive through the city and enter the highway much further than I planned (which I didnt want to do because LA was just a short stop in my itinerary. So I was able to see the city from the inside so to speak. I didnt drive through the neighborhoods in the videos but I'm glad I visited and saw the pre-fire LA. I dont know how many years it will take to rebuild those areas and whether it will all be equally beautiful, I hope so, but I feel really sad that it is all gone now. If I had a job and skills that would be useful there, I would come over and help but Im just a normal guy with a mundane 9-5 job. I wish you all the best in these tough times; tragedies make people discover their best in them and so will be the case here, Im sure about that.

All but ashes remain, in the end what lies but pain. What was doneWhat has gained Is this humane oh what shame, For who's to blame, for this smoke and flame There you sit like the hypocrite, on a throne of gold, while the wolf burns my sheep fold! Where is your life of glory What now your life story All but ashes remain because we mocked God's name. Spare thy self this pain and honor God's name. Speak no more of things unknown, but remember who sits upon the Throne. Now you're homeless without a home so point your fingers, aim your stingers before this fire which lingers. All but ashes that remain, all are animals and few humane, just smoke, fire, and flame.

Thank you for this video. I visited LA a few years ago and was at many of the locations in person. I would also watch video of the PCH and take a relaxing virtual drive along the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica to northern Malibu planning a trip later this year to visit places I didn't get to see such as Carbon Beach and Palisades Village, both of which were destroyed in the fires.
The fires were devastating to see live on TV and heartbreaking that the beautiful community of the Palisades, historic Altadena (an area with landmarked Victorian homes over 100 years old) and an iconic 6 mile stretch of the PCH in Southern Malibu are now gone forever.

What an amazing memory you have preserved. I have only seen bits and pieces of the LA area and I did enjoy getting to see these areas before the fire. All of my life I wish I had been able to live where I had a view of the ocean. I just can't believe you had the idea to catch all of this just days before the fires. WOW. You have done a great job of presenting these areas and showing us the beauty of the land and homes. Thank You. Yes, I will go watch the other video plus more that you mentioned about this area during the fires.

I appreciated the tour very much. I've taken the same leisure cruise over the last 55 years since I moved from the OC. Born in Long Beach, raised in the OC, enjoyed a successful career in LaLaLand, and am now retired. Heartbreaking is an understatement. Lake Shrine survived. says a lot about keeping our spirituality in check! And lastly, the Democrat leadership of our fine State has flipped our State Red because of the ineptness of our elected overseers.

They followed Moses into the desert to die. He knew it would happen, but he didn't know he would still be alive to see it. Those who saw the flaws and dangers in the architecture of the Palisades did not get support, and were physically and organizationally attacked, and became homeless and live on the streets of LA. They sympathize with the victims of the burning of their homes, who watch who will survive this luxury. He waited for the wind.

Please enjoy this memorial video of what Los Angeles's Richest Neighborhoods looked like before the Great Fire of 2025. I took this footage 5 days before the great fire destroyed almost every house in Pacific Palisades and Parts of Malibu shore seen in this video. Let me know what you think.

An oasis of peace and tranquility, gone, just like that. The fifth largest economy in the world, located in an area prone to wildfires, does not have a prevention and mitigation strategy to combat them. I find it very hard to believe. I guess only time will tell, qui vivra verra.

It's so important to have these videos. Thanks for having the forethought. Such an awful shame that MISMANAGEMENT was allowed to let this get so out of hand. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT is the only way to get justice and to prevent future occurrences of this type on incident.

There is no way I can even afford a place in this area, but my heart aches when I see the loss these people have suffered. This did not have to happen. Greed and neglect of the needs of the taxpayers by our politicians made these fires worse than they should have been.

Heartsick. A beautiful, beautiful place gone, reduced to ashes. I’ve watched so many videos of the destruction, and it’s hard to comprehend. It will take years to recover. Thanks for the video.

It rained a lot last night and into this morning in LA. My beautiful city finally got this desperately needed rain. I wish it had come sooner to help put out these nightmarish fires.

Appreciate this documentation, the fires destroyed some of my favourite areas of SoCal, so sad. Just thankful I live down near SD though our fire risk is also there too.
