Nicolas Cage Evacuates Home Due to Malibu Sinkhole, Lives in Hotels

Nicolas Cage has found himself in an unexpected predicament after a sinkhole opened up beneath his luxurious Malibu home, causing substantial damage and prompting him to evacuate. The actor, known for his eclectic film choices and larger-than-life personality, shared his current living situation on social media, stating 'I’m a little bit homeless' and 'living in hotels.' ¹²³

The sinkhole, which measured 25 feet deep and spanned 30 by 60 feet in diameter, wreaked havoc on the property, destroying the deck and driveway. This incident forced Cage to leave his $10.5 million mansion, where he had only recently moved in just months prior. ¹²³

While Cage's immediate surroundings have been impacted, the extent of the disruption to the local area is less clear. According to one report, seven neighboring homes were marked as unsafe for occupancy due to hazardous conditions, and an additional 24 homes faced issues with vehicular access. However, these claims are disputed by other sources, which indicate that not all 31 affected properties lost access for emergency services. ³

Despite the upheaval, Cage remains optimistic and has plans to enjoy a slice of normal life with his daughter. He intends to take her trick-or-treating in Santa Monica, showing that even amidst the chaos, there’s still time for family fun. ¹²

The actor’s recent purchase of the 4,000-square-foot property in 2024 adds another layer to the story, highlighting the relatively new status of his residence and the suddenness of the disaster. Additionally, a temporary gas leak in the neighborhood further complicated the situation, adding to the challenges faced by the residents. ²
