Nicolas Cage's Malibu Home Struck by Sinkhole Amid Coastal Erosion
By Editor • September 9, 2026 • 1 min read
In a startling incident early Tuesday, a significant sinkhole severely damaged a Malibu mansion associated with Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage. The event occurred around 5:45 a.m. on Sea Level Drive, prompting immediate action from emergency crews.
Emergency Response and Damage Assessment
Fire officials reported that the initial response was triggered by suspicions of a gas main break. Upon arrival, crews discovered that the mansion's driveway had collapsed due to erosion, which undermined the ground beneath it. The situation further escalated as the erosion damaged both a water line and a gas line, leading the Southern California Gas Company to turn off gas supply to the area.
Safety Measures and Evacuations
In response to the unfolding crisis, the City of Malibu's Building Safety Division red-tagged five nearby homes, prohibiting entry as a precaution. Officials quickly issued an evacuation order for the affected properties to ensure the safety of residents. The City is collaborating with Southern California Gas Company to evaluate safety concerns and will provide updates as the situation develops.
This incident follows the impact of Hurricane Marie, which has brought high surf and flooding to Southern California's coastline over the previous weekend.
