PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — Katherine E. Fleming, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, says the staff and art collection at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades "remain safe," although "some trees and vegetation on site have burned."

"Additional fire prevention measures in place at the Villa include water storage on-site," Fleming says in a statement. "Irrigation was immediately deployed throughout the grounds Tuesday morning. Museum galleries and library archives were sealed off from smoke by state-of-the-art air handling systems. The double-walled construction of the galleries also provides significant protection for the collections."

The Getty Villa will remain closed to the public through at least Monday.
