A real cliff-hanger! Repair work starts on Anthony Hopkins’ $5m Malibu mansion that is just feet away from falling off a CLIFF after torrential downpours caused precipice to erode
Hopkins 5million red tiled white mansion pictured yesterday is dangerously close to falling off a cliff edge just months after the home miraculously escaped the wildfires seemingly unscathed
Anthony Hopkins has begun repair work on his Malibu mansion that escaped virtually unscathed from huge wildfires last year – but caused more of the cliff it is perched on to erode.
The Welsh actor’s $5million beach home was miraculously left standing after the deadly Woolsey fire, while his next-door-neighbor’s home was completely leveled by the flames.
The fire, that killed three people and scorched through more than 98,000 acres last November, left soil on the cliff exposed.
Then torrential downpours – the most severe in 40 years – turned the land to mud, causing more of the cliff to erode.
