Narrative:
On visual approach in VMC following the ILS 24R course at the FAF configured with gear down and flaps 20; a bright red quadcopter drone passed below us less than 100 feet from 12 o'clock position to slightly right of nose. Reported immediately to lax tower who issued an alert to a nearby police helicopter. Upon landing did not observe any damage or evidence that we hit the drone. Event happened so fast that my alert on the frequency would help following aircraft to be on lookout to take necessary action.
