The devastating fires ripping across Los Angeles could cause more than $50 billion in damages – making them the most costly in state history, according to a report.

The total damage of the wildfires – which are spreading through the Pacific Palisades at uncontrollable rates due to high windstorms – will likely cost between $52 billion and $57 billion, according to an AccuWeather estimate.
