As a result of the deadly Palisades fire, Mel Gibson, a Hollywood actor who is 69 years old, has lost his home in California.
When the wildfire broke out, the actor and director was in Austin, Texas, taping an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. The house that he had resided in for the previous 15 years was ultimately destroyed by the fire.
Gavin Newsom, the Governor, Comes Under Fire
The BBC reports that the fire quickly expanded throughout Gibson’s neighborhood, engulfing homes in flames as it went. The good news is that his longtime girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, and their son, Lars Gerard Gibson, who is seven years old, were able to safely flee their home before the fire reached their land.
While Gibson was having a talk with Joe Rogan, he was already aware that the neighborhood he lived in was in dangerous circumstances. He made the statement that the region was “on fire” and voiced his concerns on the lack of response from Governor Gavin Newsom of California regarding the situation. Newsom was slammed by the director who won an Academy Award, who made the following statement: “I think all of our tax dollars probably went for Gavin’s hair gel.”
After arriving back in California, the actor, who is 69 years old, received confirmation that his Malibu property, which was valued at $14.5 million, had been entirely destroyed. During an interview with Elizabeth Vargas Reports on NewsNation, he described his surprise, saying, “I thought, ‘Eh, I wonder if my place is still there.'” Sure enough, it was nowhere to be found when I arrived at my house.
Acquired the property in the year 2008.
Over the course of several years, Mel Gibson had been making efforts to sell his enormous home, and he had even reduced the asking price by three million dollars.
Although the huge estate was constructed in 1996, Gibson did not purchase it until 2008, when he paid $11.5 million for it. It was reported by the Daily Mail that the five-bedroom home had a majestic, old-world grandeur, complete with a turret that resembled a castle.
However, the actor said that the loss was extremely distressing, despite the fact that he was thankful that his family was not hurt.
The information that Gibson revealed was as follows: “I had a lot of personal things there that, you know, I can’t get back.”
“Everything from photographs to files to, you know, you know, just personal things that I had accumulated over the years, and clothing, you know, pretty cool stuff, you know, but you know that can all be replaced,” she said. “It’s all kinds of stuff.”
“Remember, these are only stuff. “And the good, the good news is that, you know, those in my family and those I love are all well, and we are all happy and healthy and out of harm’s way, and that is really all I can care about,” she said.
Gibson stated, “I’ve never seen such a complete burn.” This was his description of the destruction that occurred in his area. It was also brought to his attention that other famous people, such as his neighbor, the actor Ed Harris, might have also been displaced from their homes. Furthermore, it has been alleged that the fire is responsible for the destruction of houses that belong to Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal.
The phrase “totally toasted”
While speaking about his own property, the actor from Braveheart stated, “It was completely toasted.”
During the course of his talk with Vargas, Mel Gibson also managed to crack a veiled joke.
When I arrived home, I thought to myself, “Well, at least I don’t have any of those annoying plumbing problems anymore,” and I put that thought into action.
He went on to say that his chickens had survived, which he described as “amazing.”
A large number of residents, including prominent figures like as Gibson, have continued to be affected by wildfires in the state of California. In addition to being a harsh reminder of the ongoing wildfire catastrophe in the state, the wreckage serves as something more. During an interview with Fox News, he elaborated on the attitude of the authorities by saying, “Apparently, some people were asleep on the job, primarily our leaders.”
“They are going to have to bear the consequences of that. When children are traumatized. Nobody should be held accountable for it.
