There is none. However, authorities would expect that the child would be in a safe environment, feel like they were safe, and know how to handle emergencies and get assistance. Most place believe that 12 or 13 is okay to leave alone for a few hours during daylight hours.

If CPS (Child Protection Services) finds out, they will remove the child from the parent that allowed this to happen, and perhaps charge the parent with child endangerment.

The child, then would be placed into foster care, and eventually could be awarded to the other parent, if the court so decides.

What is the legal age to leave a child home alone in the state of California?

12 California as the majority of states does not have established "home alone" laws. As difficult as it may be to understand the general criteria used when incidents are brought to the attention of investigators is; "Can this child take care of themselves?" and "Was the child left in a dangerous or unsuitable environment?" States that have "home alone" laws have made them so vague and difficult to enforce that the reality is, a child of any age can be left at home for any length of time and it is not against the law unless (until) the child is injured or worse.
