Magnitude 5.1 earthquake reported in the Los Angeles area of southern California A magnitude 5.1 earthquake has struck the Los Angeles area of southern California, the US Geological Survey says.
More to follow. The quake happened at about 21:10 local time on Friday (04:10 GMT on Saturday) and its epicentre was 2km (1 mile) east of the town of La Habra.
There were no immediate reports of significant damage or injuries.
A 4.4-magnitude quake was felt near Los Angeles earlier this month, rattling nerves but causing no major damage.
The San Andreas fault, on the edge of the Pacific tectonic plate, runs directly through California, and the western US state has long braced for a devastating quake.
The 1994 Northridge quake, at 6.7 magnitude, left at least 60 people dead. A 6.9-magnitude quake in San Francisco five years earlier killed 67 people.
