The Los Angeles coroner's daily update has seen the number of deaths attributed to the ongoing wildfires rise to 24.
Of the fatalities, 16 were recorded to be in the Eaton Fire zone, while eight were from the Palisades Fire zone.
Teams with cadaver dogs are continuing to carry out grid searches with the expectation that the death toll will still rise.
Better weather conditions and efforts from firefighters have restricted the spread of the Palisades Fire, which was moving towards Brentwood and the densely populated San Fernando Valley.
However, conditions are due to worsen again, with "extreme fire behavior and life threatening conditions" over the coming days.
With the Palisades Fire now compassing 23,713 acres, it remains just 13% contained.
Winds up to 70 miles (110 kilometers) per hour mean a "particularly dangerous situation" is expected to be declared from early Tuesday, said National Weather Service meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld.
At least 16 people reported missing
At least 16 people are missing as wildfires continue to blaze around Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said on Sunday that 12 people were missing in the Eaton fire zone and four were missing from the Palisades blaze. None of them were children.
The number of missing people is likely to increase as "dozens" more reports might have come in on Sunday, Luna added.
Investigators were also investigating whether any of the people reported missing had been killed by the wildfires.
Teams from the Sheriff's Department continued sift through the rubble on Sunday using dogs to search for human remains.
Fires blazing on five fronts around Los Angeles
Firefighters battled five separate blazes on Sunday that continued to encroach on Los Angeles.
In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, California Governor Gavin Newsom said the wildfires could amount to the worst natural disaster in US history.
"I think it will be in terms of just the costs associated with it, in terms of the scale and scope," he said.
Newsom added that he was launching a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild the city.
"We already have a team looking at reimagining LA 2.0," he said.
Gusts continue to push Palisades blaze east
Firefighters attempted to contain the Palisades blaze on Sunday as winds pushed the fire eastward, threatening previously untouched neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley.
"LA County had another night of unimaginable terror and heartbreak," Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said.
Cal Fire official Todd Hopkins said that the fire had spread into Mandeville Canyon and threatened to jump into Brentwood, an upscale neighborhood that is home to many celebrities. The famous Getty Center and UCLA campus are nearby.
Forecasters have warned that high winds would likely feed the blaze for days to come.
"Critical fire-weather conditions will unfortunately ramp up again today for southern California and last through at least early next week," the National Weather Service said.
"This may lead to the spread of ongoing fires as well as the development of new ones."
