I found one article stating that they are fig trees which are nearly impossible to kill. They might get fined for trimming city trees, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for any serious punishment against the studio.
Those don't look like fig trees to me, ficus family trees tend to be a lot wider. Interestingly, you can actually check into this here: https://losangelesca.treekeepersoftware.com/index.cfm
They also say they prune them yearly, but a quick look at street view history in google maps would suggest they were only pruned anywhere near this heavily in 2021. Prior to that they were always kept much fuller-looking. The timing is obviously malicious.
