Summary

A large sinkhole opened near Nicolas Cage's Malibu mansion in September 2026, causing severe damage that has left the property out of service and uninhabitable. Reports indicate the sinkhole was caused by heavy rain and coastal erosion. The incident has forced the actor to stay in hotels, while local authorities have marked 31 neighboring properties as unsafe for occupancy due to the hazardous conditions and blocked access for emergency services. While the damage to the mansion and surrounding area has been widely reported, the incident has not been confirmed by the official.
