A large sinkhole opened up outside Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage's Malibu home after a period of heavy rain across Southern California, authorities said.
The collapse left an approximately 30ft (9m) crater beside the property and caused a section of the driveway to cave in, according to local reports. The incident occurred as storms moved through the region, bringing intense downpours to coastal communities.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was injured or the extent of any structural damage to the house. Officials and the homeowner were reported to be assessing the scene to determine the cause and to plan any necessary repairs.
Sinkholes and ground collapses can follow heavy rainfall when water undermines soil and underground voids, experts say. Local emergency services have been monitoring weather-related erosion and infrastructure issues across the area as crews respond to multiple storm-related incidents.
No further details about the timeline for repairs or any potential road closures were released at the time of the reports.
