A collection of 200 paintings by Hunter Biden, son of the American president, was destroyed in fires in Los Angeles, California. The paintings, estimated to be worth up to $500,000 each, were stored in a warehouse near lawyer Kevin Morris's home. Hunter Biden, a self-taught artist, began painting during his recovery from drug addiction in 2020.
The wildfires in Los Angeles, which started on January 7th, have been raging and are still being extinguished. One suspect has been arrested for arson, which is believed to be the cause of the largest fire in Los Angeles. The person could face a life sentence if convicted. As of January 12th, it was reported that at least 10 people have died and 10 others are missing due to the fires. Additionally, a fire in California led to an electricity transmission line tower being found. The cause of the fires is still under investigation.
