LOS ANGELES - Two small earthquakes rattled Southern California but there are no reports of damage or injury.
 
The U.S. Geological Survey says a 3.9 magnitude quake struck at 8:24 a.m. Sunday and was centered about 5 miles east-southeast of Santa Clarita.
 
Shaking was felt across the Santa Clarita Valley, 25 miles to the south in downtown Los Angeles, in West Hollywood and along LA County beaches.
 
A sheriff's dispatcher in Santa Clarita said there were no calls reporting damage or injury.
 
Earlier Sunday, a 3.9 magnitude quake was reported in Riverside County.  The USGS says it struck at 12:47 a.m. about six miles southeast of Valle Vista.
