LOS ANGELES — An evacuation alert was sent in error Friday to Los Angeles County residents, the second time in two days a false alarm was issued during an unprecedented fire event in Southern California.

The alert was sent around 4 a.m. Friday that said an evacuation warning has been issued in your area, without any specific area designated.

A similar alert was sent in error Thursday to Los Angeles County residents.

Both alerts were sent in error. The City of Beverly Hills confirmed the error of Friday's alert, according to media reports. There are no evacuation warnings for the area surrounding Beverly Hills.

The evacuation warning sent in error on Thursday was confirmed by Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn's office. People in San Bernardino and Riverside counties received the evacuation warning.

Kevin McGowan, director of the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management, released the following statement late Thursday night:

"An evacuation order for residents near the Kenneth Fire currently burning in West Hills was mistakenly issued to nearly 10 million County residents along with some residents of neighboring counties. This warning was intended only for residents of Calabasas and Agoura Hills and those within the West Hills community of Los Angeles. We understand that these wildfires have created great anxiety, hardship and distress among our residents, and we are committed to sharing accurate information.
