Mel Gibson's $14.5m Malibu mansion burned down while he was filming Joe Rogan's podcast as actor recalls returning home to 'nothing' - as devastating wildfires continue to rage through LA
The 69-year-old actor said he is 'devastated' that his home has been torn down by the horror wildfires in an emotional interview on NewsNation's Elizabeth Vargas Reports.
The sprawling property, built in 1996, was purchased by the Oscar winner in 2008 for a cool $11.5 million and boasted five-bedroom, as well as a majestic old world feel including a castle style turret. Residents fled and then waited with bated breath to learn more about their homes, as news began trickling out that entire streets had been wiped off the map, firefighters were running out of water after destroyed infrastructure prevented more from being pumped up hill and resources were being diverted to fight the fire on multiple fronts. It's unclear if more water would have had much of an impact on the blaze, as burning embers flew miles from their origins after being carried by the hurricane-force winds, according to the Los Angeles Times.
