To go with AFP story by Romain FONSEGRIVES: "“It's all I had": in Los Angeles, the panic of uninsured fire victims"
A burnt car, charred trees and ashes are all that's left of Sebastian Harrison's home and annexes overlooking the Pacific ocean after the Palisades fire, in Malibu, California, January 21, 2025. As he looks at the ruins of his home razed when deadly fires tore through the Los Angeles area, Sebastian Harrison knows he will not be able to rebuild it because he was not insured.
"I knew it was risky, but I had no choice," he told AFP.
Harrison is one of tens of thousands of Californians forced in recent years to live without a safety net, either because their insurance company dropped them, or because the premiums just got too high. (Photo by VALERIE MACON / AFP)
