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.

- 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.
