Around 4:15 p.m., another alert was sent out by the the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management asking residents to disregard the previous alert, as it was only intended for the Kenneth fire, which erupted near West Hills bordering Los Angeles and Ventura counties earlier in the afternoon.

Beverley Hills residents received “another evacuation alert from the LA County Fire Department” but officials “confirmed this was another error."

The emergency alert caused confusion for untold residents for more about 20 minutes until a second message was sent announcing the error.
