Massive wildfires that engulfed whole neighborhoods and displaced thousands in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people, authorities said, as California's National Guard soldiers readied to hit the streets to help quell disorder. News of the growing toll, announced late Thursday January 9 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, came as swaths of the United States' second-largest city lay in ruins.

LOS ANGELES, United States — The 67th annual Grammys opened Sunday with an "I Love LA" tribute to the city still reeling from the devastating impact of recent wildfires.
A supergroup including Sheryl Crow and John Legend delivered a performance of Randy Newman's track to open the show in honor of Los Angeles's resilience and efforts to pick up the pieces.
Host Trevor Noah then delivered his monologue introducing the top nominees like Beyonce and Taylor Swift along with a number of barbed quips including some aimed at President Donald Trump's conservative policies on immigration.
"I'm going to enjoy tonight because this may be the last time I get to host anything," said Noah, who is Black and was born in South Africa.
