Quick Summary

A sinkhole has opened outside Nicolas Cage's Malibu mansion due to coastal erosion caused by Hurricane Marie. The hole was discovered on Tuesday morning, causing a gas leak that SoCalGas crews managed to contain hours later. The incident prompted authorities to shut off natural gas supply along an 85-foot stretch of the street as a precautionary measure. The property, which Cage purchased in 2024, is located on a road where access has been barred for five homes while engineers assess the damage caused by the sinkhole.

Story summary

A massive sinkhole has opened outside Nicolas Cage's Malibu mansion, swallowing the driveway and triggering a gas leak. The collapse occurred on Tuesday morning, just before 6 a.m., after coastal erosion linked to Hurricane Marie caused by high tides and storm-driven waves battered the Southern California coast over the holiday weekend. A gas leak was reported, but SoCalGas crews were able to bring it under control hours later. As a precaution, they shut off natural gas supply for an 85-foot stretch of the street. The sinkhole is approximately 18 meters wide and extends into the roadway, with authorities saying it's around 7.5 to 9 meters deep. In response to the incident, officials have issued an evacuation order for 31 properties in the area, citing a local emergency. Cage's representatives did not comment on the matter.
