The insurance industry is pushing back against Vice President Kamala Harris suggesting carriers canceled the policies of some California wildfire victims, calling her claims "false."

The Palisades fire, which is the largest of the blazes has been burning since the morning of January 7. Located in a predominantly affluent area, it has forced the evacuation of thousands, including several celebrities. Vice President Kamala Harris, who serves as second in command, would have been among them had she been residing in her home.

The home of Vice President Kamala Harris in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles has been placed under an evacuation order by local authorities, making her one among tens of thousands of Californians whose homes have been threatened by wildfires raging through parts of Los Angeles County.
