Mayor’s Brother Sues City Over Malibu Fire

Brother of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, Kenneth Bass, has joined the massive Palisades fire lawsuit, suing the city for damages to his Malibu home, smoke inhalation injuries, and emotional trauma — all while his sister campaigns for reelection. The consolidated case, involving thousands, blames city infrastructure failures like dry hydrants, downed power lines, and an empty reservoir, with defendants ranging from DWP and SCE to SoCalGas and the Getty Villa. The city dismisses the complaint as misleading, while Bass, a kitchen remodeler and past campaign supporter, seeks justice for his coastal property — though some structures survived.
