Aerial footage shows a large sinkhole where the driveway of a Malibu mansion once stood, after coastal erosion linked to the remnants of Hurricane Marie. The collapse opened a gaping hole in front of the property, which entertainment outlets say belongs to actor Nicolas Cage.

The driveway gave way on Tuesday morning, triggering a gas leak just before 6 a.m. SoCalGas said crews brought the leak under control hours later but shut off supply along an 85-foot stretch of the street as a precaution. Malibu officials barred access to five homes on the road while engineers assessed the damage.
Storm-driven waves and high tides battered the Southern California coast over the holiday weekend. Marie, downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm, churned up surf that accelerated erosion along exposed bluffs.
Cage, 62, bought the property in 2024, according to records cited by the New York Times. His representatives did not comment.
