Inside Edition for Wednesday, January 8, 2025

The governor of California has declared a state of emergency as wildfires continue to spread across Los Angeles. 100 mile per hour winds are making the situation, in the words of the fire chief, horrific and unpredictable. Residents are sharing heart stopping videos of the disaster, including a house with floor to ceiling glass windows surrounded by flames getting closer and closer. And, it's one of the best-known streets in America - iconic Sunset Boulevard, but today there are burnt out cars lining the streets - left behind by panicked residents who had to ditch their vehicles to escape on foot. Plus, the fire is being called the most destructive in California history and the area being hit the hardest is Pacific Palisades - one of the ritziest neighborhoods in America - home to many well-known celebrities who are now among the more than 80,000 evacuees. And Inside Edition reporter Alison Hall covers all types of stories, but never one as personal as this. She recently was given a breast cancer diagnosis and has made the incredibly brave decision to go public in the hope that sharing her journey will help other women.
