An earthquake with a preliminary 4.2 magnitude shook Southern California early Thursday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The quake hit at about 4:30 local time near the Pacoima neighborhood of Los Angeles, about 30 miles north of downtown, but was felt around the San Fernando Valley.
At least one aftershock with a preliminary magnitude of 3.3 followed.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said there were no early reports of significant damage or injury.
Los Angeles International Airport's operations were not affected by the temblor, according to airport officials.
