Flames charred about 80 acres, but no structures were damaged.
The fire forced evacuations at The Getty Center and nearby Mount St. Mary's College. The Getty remained closed Thursday, but staff at the college were allowed to return. Classes are not in session.
A portion of Sepulveda Boulevard that was closed Wednesday because of the brush fire reopened Thursday afternoon.
Los Angeles Fire Department investigators blame the fire on sparks from a weed wacker used by a crew clearing brush in the area.
The Getty Center is scheduled to reopen Friday for its usual business hours.
