If you have the time:

Flight to LA: £350
Hotel for 6 weeks: £1000
50 hours PPL package (all in): £4,051

(example taken from one well known outfit which includes everything you need, including ground exam, medical and flight test fee)

Total: £5,401 for everything......guaranteed not nuch weather standby time.

In the UK:

50 hour PPL course £6,500 including ground exams for a similar aeroplane
Landing fees ~£250
Club membership (?) £?

In reality not many people complete a PPL in under 50 hours.

Not knocking learning in the UK. However, the USA IS cheaper, and if you have the time can be a brilliant holiday. You may even learn to lean properly if you go to the west coast
