The confirmed death toll in the Los Angeles wildfires doubled Thursday night — from five fatalities to 10. The office of the Los Angeles County medical examiner announced it was investigating 10 fire-related deaths as of 9 p.m. Thursday.

The Palisades fire victim was reported at the 15300 block of Friends Street, said Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell. “We are deeply saddened to learn that we have lost a member of the Malibu community during the Palisades fire,” Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart said in a statement. “Although the individual has not yet been identified, this tragic news weighs heavily on our hearts. On behalf of the City of Malibu, I want to express my deepest condolences to the loved ones of this person.
