Driveway collapses into sinkhole at Nicolas Cage Malibu home

A vehicle driveway at a private residence owned by actor Nicolas Cage collapsed on the morning of September 8, 2026, opening a sinkhole across the front section of the Malibu, California property. The incident occurred near the ocean.

The ground collapse triggered a natural gas leak shortly before 6 a.m., prompting regional utility provider SoCalGas to suspend natural gas service along a 26-meter section of the public street to mitigate hazards tied to encroaching marine erosion on the cliffside terrain.

Tropical Storm Marie unleashes coastal damage across Southern California

This structural failure undermined the parcel while a coastal flood advisory remained in effect across the Los Angeles shoreline. Tropical Storm Marie generated heavy rainfall and dangerous surf conditions throughout Southern California over the holiday weekend, although the weather system never made direct landfall on the United States mainland. Local municipal officials in Malibu subsequently barred residents from entering five homes located along the same road affected by the landslide.

Public real estate records indicate that the property was transferred in 2024, following confirmation from the previous owner regarding the sale to Cage.
