   Almost a dozen people were injured after a balcony collapsed   
   during a social gathering in a home in Malibu sending them onto   
   rocks below Saturday evening, fire officials said.   
      
   Shortly after 5p.m., fire officials responded to the call of a   
   balcony collapsing at a beach home along the Pacific Coast   
   Highway, about a mile south of Las Flores Canyon Road.   
      
   About 10 to 15 people were on a balcony during what was   
   described as a large social gathering when it collapsed, sending   
   a group of people falling over jagged rocks and large boulders,   
   Public Information Officer for the L.A. County Fire Department   
   Ron Haralson said.   
      
   The fall was approximately 10 to 15 feet according to Haralson.   
   About nine people were injured and four of them were transported   
   to local hospitals.   
      
   The other 5 people who fell were evaluated on the scene by   
   medical personnel and declined transport. None of the patients   
   suffered critical injuries.   
      
   The owner of the home said she was renting her residence to a   
   group of four people who said they were from Colorado, and she   
   had told them they were not allowed to have parties.   
      
   After neighbors complained about the noise, the homeowner   
   checked her security cameras and saw dozens of people inside of   
   her home.   
      
   Sheriffs assisted with the closure of the PCH to ensure that   
   resources could reach the residence, Haralson said.
