Sinkhole Opens in Nicolas Cage’s Malibu Home After Heavy Rain

A 30‑foot crater suddenly opened outside an actor’s Malibu residence after a bout of heavy rain in Southern California. The unexpected sinkhole appeared on the property’s driveway, creating a deep, circular depression that startled neighbors and prompted an immediate response from local emergency services.

City officials and geologists are investigating the cause, noting that the area has experienced significant rainfall in recent days, which can trigger rapid underground water movement and weaken soil structure. The Malibu Police Department has secured the site and issued a warning for residents to avoid the crater while experts assess the stability of the surrounding ground. No injuries have been reported, and the actor’s home remains occupied.

The investigation is ongoing, with state and local agencies coordinating to determine whether additional sinkholes or subsidence risks exist in the vicinity. Residents are advised to monitor updates from the Malibu Police Department and to follow any temporary safety orders issued by the county.
