The earthquake’s timing coincided with numerous Oscars afterparties across the city.

Attendees, including celebrities such as Adrien Brody and Zoe Saldana, experienced the brief shaking but continued with the festivities.
Los Angeles frequently experiences minor earthquakes due to its location along several active fault lines. While Sunday’s quake was relatively mild, it served as a reminder of the region’s seismic activity.
Authorities continue to monitor for any potential aftershocks, though none have been reported at this time.
