Mel Gibson, 69, lost his Malibu home of 15 years to the devastating Palisades fire. While Gibson was in Austin, Texas, recording The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em>, his girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, and their seven-year-old son, Lars, evacuated safely before the flames reached their property.<\/p>\n

Upon returning to California, Gibson found his $14.5 million estate reduced to ashes. \u201cI thought, \u2018Eh, I wonder if my place is still there.\u2019 When I got home, sure enough, it wasn\u2019t,\u201d he said. Despite losing personal and sentimental items, Gibson focused on his family\u2019s safety, stating, \u201cThese are only things. What matters is that my family and loved ones are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mansion, purchased in 2008, featured a castle-like design and held years of memories. Gibson noted the fire\u2019s devastation, adding, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen such a complete burn.\u201d Neighbors like Ed Harris and other celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal, also suffered losses. Finding a moment of humor, Gibson joked, \u201cAt least I haven\u2019t got any pesky plumbing problems anymore,\u201d while marveling that his chickens survived.<\/p>\n

Criticizing authorities for their handling of the wildfire, Gibson said, \u201cKids are traumatized. Someone should answer for it.\u201d His experience reflects the resilience and gratitude required in facing California\u2019s wildfire crisis, serving as a reminder of the disaster\u2019s profound impact.<\/p>\n
