Airspace Structure; Procedure
My FO called my attention during our final descent into LAX on the HLYWD 1 arrival; cleared for the approach to 25L; and passing FUELR at 9;000 ft. I looked straight out 12 o' clock a little high and I saw a black object flying by us a few hundred feet above us. I asked him; do you think it was a bird? He said that he thought it was a drone. It was too late to do anything and no strike was suspected. We reported this to the ATC; who reported to other planes. The landing was concluded uneventfully.
EMB-175 Captain reported a NMAC with a UAV on approach to LAX at 9000 ft in the vicinity of FUELR.
