\u2018Ruin\u2019: Insane way Cage lost $207m fortune<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m currently a little bit homeless,\u201d he said. \u201cSomething happened to my house in Malibu so I\u2019m just sort of living in hotels so I don\u2019t have normal trick or treaters I would like to enjoy tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he shared that he would be taking his 4-year-old daughter, August, out trick or treating in Santa Monica, California, and that he had plans to watch director Stanley Kubrick\u2019s horror classic, The Shining, after putting her to bed.<\/p>\n
Cage\u2019s multimillion-dollar beachfront property sustained catastrophic damage due to heavy rain and severe coastal erosion, sinking into the ground. Photos taken on September 8 show a deep hole where the driveway of the home used to be.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the enclosed garage, asphalt and concrete appeared to have cracked open and fallen in, along with various items including a construction site port-a-potty and what appeared to be fragmented panels from a privacy fence.<\/p>\n
The National Treasure star\u2019s neighbours also had to be evacuated from their homes due to the huge sinkhole that swallowed his driveway.<\/p>\n
Seven of the street\u2019s homes were marked unsafe for occupancy because of the \u201chazardous conditions,\u201d the Post reported, while an additional 24 homes were to be red-tagged due to a lack of \u201csafe vehicular access.\u201d<\/p>\n
A statement on the City of Malibu\u2019s website explained that all 31 properties had been marked unsafe due to \u201cthe loss of access for Fire and Sheriff\u2019s personnel to respond to medical, fire or law enforcement emergencies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The city explained, \u201cThe collapse of a beachfront driveway extended into the roadway, blocking resident and emergency access.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, Cage is attempting to save his home. Page Six exclusively revealed last month that he rushed to file three permits within days of the sinkhole forming.<\/p>\n
He 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
