Key Points:
- The driveway of actor Nicolas Cage's coastal mansion in Malibu collapsed Tuesday morning, creating a large hole in front of the house and causing a gas leak.
- SoCalGas responded to the leak, which was under control after several hours, but temporarily shut off natural gas services to an 85-foot section of the street as a precaution against coastal erosion.
- The property was sold in 2024, with Cage identified as the buyer, though his representatives have not commented on the incident.
- The mansion had been previously damaged during a coastal flooding advisory linked to the remnants of Tropical Storm Marie, which caused rain and dangerous waves along the Southern California coast.
- Malibu city officials prohibited entry to five homes on the affected street, located between the ocean and Pacific Coast Highway, due to safety concerns.
