A 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Los Angeles area on Sunday night, shortly after the conclusion of the 2025 Oscars ceremony. The earthquake's epicenter was located 1.3 miles east-southeast of North Hollywood, near Universal City, with the tremor felt across the San Fernando Valley and other parts of Los Angeles, including Pasadena, Long Beach, Glendale, Studio City, and Burbank. The United States Geological Survey reported that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 15 kilometers below the surface at 10:13 p.m. local time. No injuries or damages were reported following the event, and the Los Angeles Fire Department stated it was not entering 'earthquake mode'. The earthquake occurred as celebrities were attending Oscars afterparties, with some reports suggesting that the tremors were captured on a live stream at the Vanity Fair party. The event followed a series of smaller tremors in the region throughout 2025. At the Oscars, 'Anora' won five awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Sean Baker, and Best Actress for Mikey Madison.
