PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KNX) – A small mudslide in the Pacific Palisades left one family displaced.

It happened in the 900 block of North Las Lomas Avenue Sunday night.

“…We had a hillside slough off which is similar to a small landslide, but it's just the uppermost layers that slide,” Nicholas Prange, a spokesperson for LAFD, said.

Officials said a 100-foot by 200-foot area of the hillside sloughed off and made contact with one home on the downhill side.

A family of eight displaced due to the mudslide and are expected to stay with relatives. One man was evacuated from his home as a precaution.

No injuries were reported.
A grading inspector and geologist are expected to assess the hillside Monday morning.
