The death toll from the wildfires has risen to 10, authorities say.
The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner says the remains of these people are still being identified.
“The identification may take several weeks as the Department of Medical Examiner is not able to respond to all death locations due to the fire conditions and safety concerns,” they said in a statement on Thursday night.
The process of notifying the victims’s legal next of kin is also under way.
Meanwhile, entire houses have been torched to the ground as the worst wildfires in Los Angeles’ history tear through the city’s neighbourhoods.
As firefighting efforts continue for a third day, some residents have returned to clear the debris that’s left of their homes.
