Mayor Karen Bass' Brother Joins Palisades Fire Lawsuit Against City of LA
Kenneth Bass and his wife seek damages for home destruction, smoke inhalation injuries and mental anguish in a broader fire-loss suit.
- On May 18, Kenneth Bass, brother of Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, filed a complaint in Superior Court against the City and Department of Water and Power for destroying his home in the 2025 Palisades fire.
- The blaze claimed 12 lives and tore through Pacific Palisades, prompting survivors to file a master complaint against 18 public and private sector defendants, including Southern California Edison and SoCalGas, alleging failed infrastructure contributed to the inferno.
- Bass's home sat on a 1.5-acre lot with views of Malibu Pier and Surfrider Beach; the main structure burned in January 2025, though a guest house, pool, and putting green survived, according to Zillow.
- Mayor Bass's office responded on Wednesday, June 10, stating, "There is nothing new here," while the DWP has denied the allegations, calling the master complaint "misleading or inaccurate."
- The lawsuit arrives as Mayor Bass fights for reelection in a November runoff against Councilmember Nithya Raman; published reports note Bass owns a kitchen remodeling business and has donated to his sister's campaign.
