Mel Gibson shares sad truth after fire destroys his home

Mel Gibson, a 69-year-old Hollywood actor, lost his California house in the terrible Palisades fire.

The house where the actor and filmmaker had lived for 15 years was destroyed by a wildfire that started while he was in Austin, Texas, filming an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

Governor Gavin Newsom was criticized.Homes were quickly engulfed in flames as the fire quickly spread throughout Gibson’s neighborhood, according to the BBC. Luckily, before the fire reached his property, his longtime partner Rosalind Ross and their seven-year-old son Lars Gerard Gibson were able to safely leave.

Gibson already knew that his community was at jeopardy when he spoke with Joe Rogan. He claimed that the region was “on fire” and voiced his displeasure with California Governor Gavin Newsom’s lack of action. In his criticism of Newsom, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker said, “I think all our tax dollars probably went for Gavin’s hair gel.”
