Landmarks damaged in the California wildfires include 'Freaky Friday' school, historic synagogue and more

From a school featured in "Freaky Friday" to a historic synagogue, local landmarks are among the thousands of structures damaged by the wildfires.

This week’s deadly wildfires in Southern California have destroyed or damaged thousands of structures, including many landmarks that hold spots in cinematic and cultural history.

The Los Angeles-area blazes, which authorities say have killed at least six people, have leveled homes, businesses and schools at an alarming speed. Among the areas hardest hit is Pacific Palisades, an affluent neighborhood west of downtown Los Angeles that the Beach Boys referred to in “Surfin’ USA,” their 1963 ode to sunny coastal California life.

Here are some of the well-known landmarks that have been damaged:

Palisades Charter High School: This public school has been a popular location for Hollywood productions, including the 1976 supernatural horror classic “Carrie” and the 2003 remake of “Freaky Friday,” starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s one of several Los Angeles County schools that sustained “significant” fire damage, the Los Angeles Unified School District said.
