The luxury home of the Hollywood star has been swallowed by a sinkhole A sinkhole about 7.6 meters deep in the beach neighborhood of Malibu in Los Angeles has swallowed the driveway of the home of Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage and requires extensive repairs to protect the property from strong waves and beach erosion. After that sinkhole swallowed the doorway of Cage's home, Malibu officials declared 31 homes on that street unsafe and their residents were forced to evacuate. The damage blocked the only access to the beach neighborhood and it is not yet clear when the evacuation order will be lifted. According to the Los Angeles Times, this sinkhole formed on September 8 on Sea Level Drive in front of Cage's home and spread rapidly. City documents show that Cage received four permits to make repairs related to the damage. This action includes dredging to collect soil samples, collecting debris and using sandbags to protect the property from strong waves and coastal erosion. _ Link
