Mel Gibson's Malibu Home Destroyed by Wildfires

While Mel Gibson was recording an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast in Austin, Texas, his Malibu home was consumed by wildfires raging through California. Unaware of the destruction at the time, Gibson shared his emotional response upon returning to find his home 'completely toasted', describing it as 'perfectly burnt' and comparing the devastation to the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The wildfires have resulted in the deaths of at least seven people and the destruction of over 10,000 buildings in the Los Angeles area. Gibson criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's handling of the fire crisis, expressing disappointment over the lack of preventive measures. Despite the loss of personal belongings accumulated over 14 years in the home, he emphasized that the safety of his family is what matters most. The ongoing wildfires pose a significant threat, with the potential to become the costliest in U.S. history.
