Aerial footage captured the dramatic scene as construction crews arrived at the site, with officials working to assess the damage. The incident occurred just before 6 a.m., leading to a gas leak that prompted an emergency response from local authorities and utility companies.

SoCalGas confirmed the leak was contained several hours later but noted that natural gas services were temporarily suspended for an 85-foot stretch of the street as a precaution against coastal erosion. Cage’s representatives have not yet commented on the event, though property records indicate the home was purchased in 2024. The mansion had previously been affected by heavy rains linked to the remnants of Hurricane Marie, which caused coastal flooding in the area earlier this year.
