Human remains were found Wednesday night in a Malibu home destroyed by the Palisades Fire burning near the Los Angeles County coast. A missing persons report led authorities to conduct a welfare check at the home near Pacific Coast Highway and Las Flores Canyon Road.

During a wellness check in the Pacific Palisades, deputies discovered what they believe were human remains. A woman set on fire inside a New York City subway has raised questions about how a world traveler and former Merck employee ended up homeless and burned on a train.

KTVU reporter Tom Vacar said the coroner's van appeared in Malibu and Los Angeles County crews look for human remains in the Palisades Fire.
