EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood Legend Jeff Bridges Lists Malibu Land for $4.4 Million—After Beloved Family Home Burned in Wildfires

Acting icon Jeff Bridges has put his family's longtime Malibu, CA, property on the market—after the home that once stood on the now-bare parcel of land was decimated in the 2025 California wildfires.

The 76-year-old "True Grit" star, who lives primarily in Santa Barbara, CA, inherited the home from his mother and father—along with his brother, Beau Bridges, and their sister.

When confirming the loss of the four-bedroom, four-bathroom abode, a spokesperson for Bridges noted to TMZ that the dwelling had been in his family for generations, having been passed down to the actor and his siblings by their father, Lloyd, and mother, Dorothy.

Located on the beach in Malibu, the property had been listed for rent on a number of occasions in the years before the wildfires and was even briefly put on the market for sale in July 2024, with an asking price of $9.2 million, according to records.

That listing price was lowered on Jan. 7, 2025—the same day that the fires broke out—to $8.85 million.

However, after the dwelling, which was owned by the Bridges family for generations, was destroyed, the siblings removed the listing, only to put the property back on the market as a bare parcel of land, for the much lower price of $4.95 million.

Bridges and his siblings have now lowered that price to $4.37 million, less than half the price they originally listed the home for 18 months ago.

"Located on one of Malibu's most desirable stretches of coastline, this exceptional burn lot offers a rare opportunity to build your dream home on the sands of exclusive La Costa Beach," the listing states.

"With an expansive, all-sand beach and a favorable low mean tide line, the property invites endless enjoyment of the coastal lifestyle."

The description goes on the detail the property that once occupied the lot, which spans nearly 5,000 square feet, noting that the former structure serves as "a solid footprint for future development."

"Whether you're planning an oceanfront retreat or securing a prime piece of Malibu real estate, this lot presents limitless potential," it adds.

A previous description of the property, which was shared when it was listed for rent, laid bare the extensive upgrades that had been made to the home by Bridges and his family, calling attention to the "tastefully remodeled" interiors.

According to that description, the home featured a spacious main living area with a "romantic fireplace" as well as "walls of glass" that opened up to a huge deck overlooking the ocean.

The ocean view primary suite offered its own private deck space with stunning views over the water.

Bridges is one of multiple celebrities to have lost their home to the California wildfires, with the likes of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, Miles Teller, and Mandy Moore all forced to watch as their dwellings were destroyed by the blazes.

However, the actor is also not the only homeowner to have seen the value of their property plummet in the wake of the tragedy.

A new housing data analysis conducted by Realtor.com® researchers earlier this month revealed that the total value of destroyed homes in the fire zones of the celebrity-studded Pacific Palisades enclave and working-class Altadena fell from $14.7 billion to $10.8 billion and from $7 billion to $4.7 billion, respectively, between late 2024 and the second half of 2025.

Homes damaged by the fires but not completely ravaged saw their total value decline from $2.2 billion to $1.9 billion in Pacific Palisades and from $825 million to $658 million in Altadena.

Even properties that were not physically affected but merely located in the hardest-hit burn zones experienced significant losses, with aggregate values falling from $10.4 billion to $9.4 billion in Pacific Palisades and from $3.8 billion to $3.2 billion in Altadena.

Altogether, the fires erased an estimated $8.3 billion in home value across the two scorched suburban L.A. communities. Notably, that total does not take into account losses in other affected enclaves, such as Malibu and Topanga.

Analysts used the average of the latest available automated valuation model home values from real estate analytics firms Cotality and Quantarium. 

Looking at homes purchased between 2020 and 2024 that were reduced to ash and later sold as vacant lots in 2025, sale prices were typically about 50% lower than their most recent pre-fire purchase prices in both Pacific Palisades (-51.6%) and Altadena (-51.3%), reflecting the loss of livable structures as well as the cost and uncertainty of rebuilding.

The analysis included only properties assessed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and captured in its damage assessment data. It's important to note that a substantial number of properties are not represented in the CAL FIRE data and therefore are not reflected in these figures.

"Taken together, the sales and valuation data indicate that the fires led to large, immediate losses in housing wealth for destroyed properties, alongside more moderate but widespread value softening across surrounding neighborhoods," Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones said.
