Mel Gibson toured the smoldering remains of his Malibu mansion, which was reduced to a heap of ashes by the apocalyptic wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles.

Gibson, 69, surveyed his home for the first time on Wednesday, revealing now that so little remains of the once beautiful property that ‘you could put it in an urn’.

The Oscar winning actor was escorted through the neighborhood in a firetruck and then walked the grounds where his $14.5million residence once stood.

‘Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional,’ he said of the destruction during an interview with NewsNation. ‘I had a lot of personal things there that, you know, I can’t get back.’

Gibson, who appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast last week, revealed he was ‘ill at ease’ during their interview because ‘I knew my neighborhood was on fire’ and was wondering ‘if my place is still there’.

‘But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there,’ he said, before optimistically noting that at least now he doesn’t have any ‘pesky plumbing problems’.

Gibson was seen shaking hands with firefighters and first responders, seemingly thanking them for their efforts battling the devastating infernos that have killed at least 25 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures.

The actor is just one of dozens of celebrities who have lost their multi-million-dollar homes in the fires, including Paris Hilton, Eugene Levy, Miles Teller, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, and Candy Spelling, among others.

Gibson, who has lived in his Malibu home for about 15 years, says he lost a lot of ‘cool stuff’ during the fires – but knows it’s all replaceable.

He is happy that is family is safe and says he plans to clean up the lot and rebuild.

But he did reveal that the one thing he would’ve liked to have taken from the property before leaving was an end table, according to TMZ.

Gibson was also left stunned after a firefighter shockingly claimed there was no water in the fire hydrants, as the group drove through the fire-devastated areas of LA.

‘None of us were aware of the water issues with the reservoirs and stuff, right,’ the firefighter said.  

Gibson asked if the fire crews were aware that ‘the reservoir was empty.’

Actor Mel Gibson drove through LA with a firefighter and NewsNation’s Brian Entin. ‘None of us were aware of the water issues with the reservoirs and stuff, right,’ the firefighter said

Gibson took a tour of the burned down remains of his Malibu home on Wednesday, where almost everything was destroyed. He recalled in earlier interviews returning to ‘nothing’

While he said they initially had water, the firefighter added that the teams ran out of water ‘fairly quickly.’   

‘It’s not uncommon for us to lose water in our firefight. It’s just that early in the game was surprising.’

Gibson, who previously questioned if the ‘convenient’ circumstances surrounding the fires had been ‘commissioned’, responded: ‘Because yeah, it wasn’t there. And no one told you. That’s the crazy bit.’ 

The firefighter said that his team was quickly equipped with ‘a lot of resources’ as the devastating wildfires progressed.

He recalled in earlier interviews returning to ‘nothing’ after his $14.5million Malibu mansion burned down while he was filming a podcast with Joe Rogan in Texas.

During filming, Gibson said he knew his neighborhood was on fire and wondered if his home was still standing.

He added: ‘I was doing the Rogan podcast… And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighborhood 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.’

After learning that his house was about to be destroyed, the actor rushed back to the Malibu mansion with his son to grab whatever they could before it all turned to ash. 

He told Fox News last week that the pair only escaped with their passports and a few other important documents while his artworks and books, some of which were from the 16th century and priceless, were destroyed in the flames.

‘It reminds me of the old cattle barrons clearing people off the land. I don’t know… it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water,’ he said.

‘The wind conditions and the fact that there were people ready, willing and able to start fires. And are they commissioned to do so or are they just acting on their own volition?’

‘I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water,’ Gibson previously said of the infernos. ‘And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires.’ He is pictured with firefighters at his Malibu home on Wednesday

Gibson had previously theorized on Fox News with Laura Ingraham if the ruinous fires were ‘commissioned’ in order to move people off valuable property. 

‘I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water,’ Gibson said.

‘And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires.’ 

‘I know they were missing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.’

‘And then in events like this, you sort of look, well, it is on purpose? Which, it’s an insane thing to think. 

‘But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, what do they want? The state empty? I don’t know.’

The firefighter said that his team was quickly equipped with ‘a lot of resources’ as the devastating wildfires progressed

The actor told Ingraham: ‘One always suspect that this might happen.

‘One thinks that the resources and the capabilities of the men and women will be on standby, that they’ll be able to cope with any situation that comes up, but apparently some people were asleep on the job, mainly our leaders there.’

‘But, you know, that’s something they have to live with — but that’s something that the community has to live with, and it’s really sad.’

So far, at least 25 people have died as a result of the LA fires, and more than 180,000 people have been forced to evacuate.
