One person is dead and 60 others have been displaced following a fire at a Baldwin Park townhouse community, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The fire broke out at 8:30 p.m. Sunday at 12828 E. Ramona Blvd. in the townhouse community of Alderwood, according to the Fire Department.
The gated community is made up of more than 100 two-story homes, each with two to three bedrooms and an average price ranging from $500,000 to $610,000, according to property records.
At least five units were destroyed, authorities said, and multiple others were damaged by smoke and water.
Fire officials said five were damaged. But Goldstar Property Management, which manages the community, said at least a dozen condominiums had been damaged by smoke.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner has not released details about the victim killed in the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
