Driveway of Coastal Mansion Owned by Nicolas Cage Collapses

Coastal erosion caused the 30-by-30-foot sinkhole, and officials red-tagged five nearby homes after the driveway collapse ruptured a gas main.

  • The driveway of actor Nicolas Cage's $10.5 million Malibu beachfront mansion collapsed into a massive 30-by-30-foot sinkhole following severe coastal erosion, high tides, and ocean swells driven by Hurricane Marie.
  • Emergency responders dispatched to the 4,000-square-foot property discovered that the ground collapse triggered an active natural gas leak, prompting utility crews to temporarily shut off gas lines along the block.
  • Photos from the scene revealed that sections of asphalt, concrete, privacy fencing, and a construction-site portable toilet were swallowed into the crater, exposing the support beams beneath the residence.
  • The Malibu Building Safety Division issued "red tag" notices declaring Cage's property and four adjacent beachfront homes unsafe for occupancy while engineers evaluate structural integrity and slope stability.
  • Authorities confirmed that no one was injured during the collapse and that Cage did not appear to be inside the residence, which was undergoing active renovations at the time.
