Several iconic Los Angeles restaurants and landmarks have been burned down as multiple wildfires have ravaged the Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Altadena, the Hollywood Hills and surrounding areas.
The Palisades Fire, which began the morning of Jan. 7, the Eaton Fire and the Sunset Fire have resulted in the evacuations of nearly 180,000 Los Angeles residents and the destruction of thousands of buildings.
Here are the celebrity-loved hotspots that are no longer standing.
Moonshadows
Moonshadows Malibu was listed as “permanently closed” on Google after the Palisades Fire ripped through the neighborhood on Jan. 8.
A news report shared to the beachfront restaurant’s Instagram Story showed the seafood eatery in ruins from the flames.
Several patrons mourned the loss of Moonshadows by recalling their favorite memories at the establishment on social media.
Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio
Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio, located on the Pacific Coast Highway, was also destroyed by the blaze.
Journalist Arash Markazi took to X to share “heartbreaking before and after images,” which showed nearly nothing left of the building.
The wine bar staff thanked their community for the “incredible support” via Facebook, saying patrons “made the past 24hrs breathable.”
Palisades Village
The ritzy Palisades Village located on Sunset Boulevard went up in flames.
The shopping center built by billionaire Rick Caruso was home to several stores, including Lululemon, Sephora, Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutique and Erewhon Market.
Blue Ribbon Sushi, Alfred’s, Casa Nostra, Cafe Vida and Hank’s were also among the eateries destroyed.
Topanga Ranch Motel
The Topanga Ranch Motel, located in Malibu, Calif., and built by William Randolph Hearst, was ravaged in the fire.
The beachfront motel had been standing since 1929 and once served as the “inexpensive seaside holiday vacation retreat for families and writers,” according to California State Parks.
Photos included in a news release showed the one-story building completely burned down with only the iconic parking lot sign still standing.
Will Rogers Ranch
The former home of late actor Will Rogers, the Will Rogers Ranch, also succumbed to the Palisades Fire.
On Jan. 8, the nonprofit Wills Rogers Ranch Foundation shared before-and-after shots of the estate, with only two brick chimneys remaining.
“While the loss to the Will Rogers Ranch is devastating, it pales in comparison to the loss of the property and businesses and, more importantly, the lives of those in the surrounding area,” said Jennifer Rogers, a Rogers family representative.
Cholada Thai
Cholada Thai in Malibu, Calif., has also been listed as “permanently closed.”
The beachside eatery had been operating for decades, with owner Sawai Theprian previously saying having the restaurant was a “dream,” per their website.
“I’m very proud when someone asks me where I own my restaurant and I say Malibu,” Therprian said.
Reel Inn Malibu
Owners of the Reel Inn Malibu are already planning to rebuild the iconic eatery after it went up in flames.
“After 36 years in business, we have lost our beloved restaurant,” a GoFundMe for the restaurant read.
“Together, we can ensure that if and when our doors reopen, our team will be there, ready to welcome you all back with open arms.”
