According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, 12,000 buildings have been destroyed, over 100,000 people have been evacuated, approximately 450,000 people are without power, and there have been 24 deaths, with the possibility of the death toll increasing.

Some areas of California have become a sea of fire, and local buildings have been engulfed in flames. The disaster relief fund aims to raise 2 million US dollars, with the CEO adding an additional 1 million.

After the news spread, donations from all parties continued to pour into local relief organizations. The Giving Block, a non-profit organization dedicated to cryptocurrency emergency relief, has also set up an emergency relief fund for the affected households, with a goal of raising $2 million to provide full assistance to the local victims. Jared Isaacman, CEO of The Giving Block, also took the lead by donating $1 million as a relief fund and helped achieve the fundraising goal.
