• Drones And Helicopters Flying Over Malibu By SCE (canyon-news.com) — Expect to see and hear more drones and helicopters over Malibu in the coming weeks as Southern California Edison inspects power poles and towers in local neighborhoods for wildfire risks. Crews will use mostly drones for quieter, detailed 360-degree checks aimed at spotting damage or hazards that need repair, part of an ongoing effort to reduce fire danger in high-risk areas.
   

• Rapid erosion reveals decades-old infrastructure at Calif. beach (mercedsunstar.com) — Access to one of Malibu's most scenic beaches is closed indefinitely after powerful swells from Hurricane Genevieve caused severe erosion along parts of the California coast. The story explains how storms stripped sand, exposed old infrastructure at Newport Beach's Wedge, and raised broader concerns about beach safety, surfing conditions, and long-term sea-level rise.
   

• Jada Pinkett Smith Makes a Sophisticated Statement in a Black Bow-Detail Gown at Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns' Wedding (fashionsizzle.com) — A star-studded wedding in Malibu recently brought major celebrities, including Jada Pinkett Smith, to an oceanfront ceremony for Jordyn Woods and NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.
