A magnitude 3.9 earthquake struck Hollywood as celebrities gathered for Oscars afterparties. The quake, with its epicenter in North Hollywood, hit just after 10 PM local time, causing brief panic but no reported injuries or damage. Attendees at the Vanity Fair afterparty felt a sudden jolt, with high-rise buildings swaying. BBC’s Emma Vardy, on the 15th floor, described the experience as “like jelly.” A resident described the experience, saying, "I felt that in my bones," surprised at the quake’s strength. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed no need for emergency measures. This marks the 40th earthquake in Southern California since March began, though most were minor. The USGS confirmed no tsunami threat.
