A large, 4.7-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Southern California early Thursday, according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake struck the Malibu area around 7:28 a.m. with an initial magnitude of 5.1, officials said. It has since been downgraded to 4.7.
An aftershock was felt at 7:30 a.m., and had a magnitude of 2.8, according to the USGS.
The temblor was about 7 miles below the surface, according to USGS, and the shock was felt as far away as 45 miles away in Orange County.
Data from the USGS shows the tremblor was felt in nearby Los Angeles, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica, and the Hollywood Hills.

“We’ve felt a rolling, pronounced earthquake in Anaheim,” the city of Anaheim posted on X. “Early reports put it at 5.1 (subject to change) near Malibu.
“We will monitor reports and facilities with no known issues or concerns in Anaheim at this time.”
There were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage.
The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services said it was monitoring the quake and checking for any damage.
