While he was filming the podcast, Mel said he knew his neighbourhood was on fire and wondered if his home was still standing.

Mel began: ‘Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional.’

He added: ‘I was doing the Rogan podcast… And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighbourhood was on fire, so I thought, I wonder if my place is still there.

‘But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there. I went home and I said to myself, well, at least I haven’t got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.

‘I had a lot of personal things there that, you know, I can’t get back…

‘All kinds of stuff, everything from photographs to files to, you know, you know, just personal things that I had from over the years, and clothing, you know, pretty cool stuff, you know, but you know that can all be replaced.

‘These are only things. And the good, the good news is that, you know, those in my family and those I love are all well, and we’re all happy and healthy and out of harm’s way, that’s all I can care about, really.’

The sprawling property, built in 1996, was purchased by the Oscar winner in 2008 for a cool $11.5 million and boasted five-bedroom, as well as a majestic old world feel including a castle style turret.

Mel shared disturbing visions of fire and brimstone when he appeared on the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

The actor-turned-filmmaker warned the controversial podcaster that society was heading toward a ‘collapse’ while discussing the fires that have devastated several neighbourhoods around Greater Los Angeles and left other celebrities without homes.

Mel also included plenty of criticism for California Governor Gavin Newsom for failing to ‘take care of the forest and maintain the forest,’ though the current fires all started in urban environments.
