Nicolas Cage's driveway collapses as sinkhole opens up at his Malibu home

A 30ft crater opened up outside the house in Malibu reportedly belonging to Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage after heavy rain in Southern California. The sinkhole appeared after the driveway collapsed, following days of heavy rain in the region. No injuries had been reported, according to local media. Representatives for Cage have been asked for comment, but no response has been received yet. The actor bought the home in 2024, shortly after the sale, and has won several notable awards, including an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas. Nearby residents were informed of the forming sinkhole, which initially seemed fixable, but the situation escalated overnight. The collapse swallowed up much of the driveway, leaving broken asphalt and construction debris inside the hole. Emergency services responded to the gas leak caused by the structural failure, which was later secured by SoCalGas. Traffic cones have been placed around the crater, and the area remains inaccessible due to the ongoing situation. The collapse was caused by the heavy rain, which saturated the soil and led to the driveway's collapse. Local authorities are working to assess the damage and determine the cause of the sinkhole. The home's structural integrity is currently being evaluated, and it is unclear at this time whether the property will be inhabitable. The situation is being monitored by local authorities, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
