There were no reports of any damage or injuries as a result of the quake, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power also said there were no electrical outages reported in the city in connection with the quake.

Nancy Castles of Los Angeles World Airports said that after initial inspections in the wake of the magnitude-5.8 earthquake, operations at the Los Angeles International Airport and other airports appeared to be normal. She said flight operations were unaffected.

California Governor's Office of Emergency Services had received no damage or injury reports, said spokesman Kelly Huston in Sacramento, the state's capital.
