Narrative:

On approach to runway 24R at lax; approximately 2.9 miles from jetsa at 2500 ft we encountered a drone at our altitude. The drone passed approximately 25ft on the right wing of the aircraft; slightly above the wing but at our altitude. We immediately notified ATC and provided a description of the drone and the approximate location and altitude. We did not have time to deviate and only saw the drone at the last second. Passengers were unaware and the flight landed normally.
