Photos of the week: 1/5 - 1/12
Areas of California left devastated by last month's historic wildfires were ravaged by deadly mudslides this week. At least 17 people were killed when a wall of mud sent boulders and debris sweeping through neighborhoods. The upscale hillside community of Montecito in Southern California, where well-known figures including Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres live, was hit particularly hard.
Other major headlines of the week included President Trump reportedly calling Haiti and African nations "s---hole countries," celebrities wearing black to the Golden Globes in support of the Time's Up initiative and Steve Bannon being removed from his position at Breitbart News.
