Los Angeles: The luxurious mansion of Hunter Biden, the son of former US President Joe Biden, has been entirely turned into ashes by the raging wildfires in Los Angeles. Images are getting traction on social media platforms.
Hunter Biden’s Malibu mansion was an upscale rental estate, costing over $15,800. The mansion was previously a 1950s three-bedroom, three-bath paradise featuring sweeping vistas of the Pacific.
The upscale rental previously featured a gourmet kitchen and a guest studio with its balcony facing the ocean, offering an ideal artistic environment. Hunter was said to have utilized the studio to create the paintings that support his lifestyle, although many remaining works have also been destroyed.
Images from Hunter’s latest Malibu property listing reveal a mid-century modern design featuring a master bedroom with views of a large backyard and the ocean beyond.
Lime trees flourish in the backyard, which features a hot tub and ample area for entertaining guests.
Earlier today, President Biden stated at a news conference that he was uncertain, but his son had been informed that the property had burned down before receiving reassurance that it had survived.
Intense wildfires enveloping Los Angeles reached the Hollywood Hills on Thursday, following other blazes in the region that claimed at least five lives, devastated hundreds of residences, and strained firefighting resources and water availability to their breaking point.
Over 100,000 individuals were instructed to evacuate as arid, hurricane-strength winds obstructed firefighting efforts and propagated the blazes, which have scorched dry land almost unchecked since their onset on Tuesday.
A new blaze ignited in the Hollywood Hills early Thursday, leading to additional evacuations and increasing the total to six wildfires raging in Los Angeles County.
However, the images reveal that the Malibu residence Hunter shares with spouse Melissa Cohen, is among the more than 1,000 homes destroyed by the four wildfires currently raging in LA County.
Hunter and his wife Melissa have lived in Malibu for approximately three years after relocating from the canals of Venice, California.
Also lost in the fire was the adjacent house that had been leased by Hunter’s Secret Service security team for an astonishing $16,000-a-month – the cost covered by the US taxpayer.
