Nicolas Cage is pulling out all the stops to keep his Malibu home in one piece.
The “Longlegs” actor rushed to file three permits after a massive sinkhole formed outside his $10.5 million California beachfront property on Sept. 8, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Cage, 62, requested an emergency building permit with city officials, where he was granted permission to pack sandbags against the beach and the exterior of the home for both wave protection and to prevent further coastal erosion.
Records show additional permits were also approved for asphalt debris removal related to the sinkhole in preparation for shoring installation and excavation to collect soil samples.
All three were filed within days of the sinkhole forming.
The chasm was initially reported to be 30 feet by 30 feet, but has since grown in size to the point where it has now wrapped around the side of Cage’s home and right up to the front door.
Images from the scene showed the hole swallowed Cage’s driveway, a construction site portable toilet, ladders and parts of a privacy fence.
Fortunately for locals, no injuries were reported. Firefighters did respond to the area to address a gas leak.
Cage, who resides mostly in Nevada, was not believed to be inside the home at the time of the incident. Cage’s reps did not respond to requests for comment.
Days after the sinkhole formed, the City of Malibu issued a “mandatory evacuation order” and marked all 31 homes on the street “unsafe” due to a lack of vehicular access to the area, meaning fire and sheriff personnel would not be able to reach them.
“The collapse of a beachfront driveway extended into the roadway, blocking resident and emergency access. Sea Level Drive has a single entry and exit,” the city explained at the time.
Cage took over the 4,000 square-foot home in 2024, with the property providing a rooftop deck and private beach access, as well as ocean views.
He has yet to publicly address the matter, but resurfaced at the opening night of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art weeks later with his 31-year-old wife, Riko Shibata.
