A $2M California home that was saved from wildfires is now destroyed by a landslide.

A $2 million California home was destroyed by a landslide, despite being spared from the Los Angeles wildfires.

A landslide in Pacific Palisades resulted in the division of a one-story oceanfront property into two parts, which have now crumbled and are surrounded by mud with running water nearby, according to Fox 11 LA.

The one-bedroom, one-bathroom home on Castellammare Drive, which was sold for nearly $2 million a few years ago and rented for $14,000 a month, was reported by Fox 11 LA, using online data.

Officials and homeowners in Los Angeles are now worried about landslides due to the use of water to fight wildfires, which can weaken the ground and make foundations unstable. The USGS has also issued a warning about the danger of mudslides and landslides following wildfires, as the fires destroy vegetation that helps secure the soil.

A landslide may have been caused by a fire that destroyed a split-in-two home, as shown in aerial footage of the home above the landslide.

The Eaton Fire in the Pacific Palisades has caused the most damage among the wildfires in the region, with over 23,700 acres burned, according to the Los Angeles Times. At least 27 people have been killed in this fire, as reported by Fox 11.

As of 8 p.m. Thursday, the Palisades fire was 27% contained, an increase from the 22% contained earlier in the day.

A security guard, Bryan Kirkwood, was taken aback upon witnessing the devastation of a home he was tasked with safeguarding from looters.

"Kirkwood stated to KTLA, "This is devastating. I didn't realize it was this bad. I didn't see the news and got out here to look, and it didn't hit me until now. Wow, this is a big deal.""

The director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Mark Pestrella, stated that the large amount of water being used to extinguish the fire is causing unintended effects.

Pestrella explained to Fox 11 that the slopes that are extremely steep and have been completely dried out are referred to as dry gravel. These slopes will appear to be raveling and resemble a landslide, which is indeed what they are.

"Water and debris have flooded the streets and properties, causing some damage to the structures that remain."

During firefighting efforts, gas and water lines were destroyed and water was shut off in some areas located in the Palisades fire zones.

"We acted for two reasons: to preserve water pressure in the system and prevent it from being lost to properties, as well as to anticipate its potential to facilitate landslides," he stated.

The lower Topanga area also has a considerable amount of dry gravel, as he stated.

"We are collaborating with Caltrans to preserve the slopes, ensuring continued access to the area."

Even though it isn't raining and LA County has been dry for months, flow hazards remain a problem, according to him.

Pestrella warned all LA County residents that slopes, whether behind their homes or on top of them, have become fragile.

"The soil beneath your home has weakened and been harmed by the occurrences we've experienced, including wind. There is mud and debris present."
